Pathologist Remark Peripheral smears studied reveals RBC
Normocytic Normochromic, WBC- No
abnormality detected, platelet morphology
within physiological limits(adequate) and no
other abnormality detected.
EDTA Whole Blood - Tests done on Automated Five Part Cell Counter. (WBC, RBC Platelet count by impedance method, WBC
differential by VCS technology other parameters calculated) All Abnormal Haemograms are reviewed confirmed microscopically.
Differential count is based on approximately 10,000 cells.
Note:
• This is for your information only.No trasfusion/therapeutic intervention is done without confirmatioon of blood group by
concerned authorities.
• In case of infants less than 6 month,suggested to repeat Blood group after 6 month of age for confirmation with
reverse/serum grouping.
Test Description : The HIV Ag/Ab Combo(HIV DUO) assay is a Screening test for simultaneous qualitative detection of HIV p24
antigen and antibodies to HIV type 1 and/or 2 in human serum or plasma. However, the HIV Ag/Ab Combo result does not
distinguish between the detection of HIV p24 antigen, HIV-1 antibody, or HIV-2 antibody separately.
Test Interpretation :
• All reactive samples are tested by 3 different methods as per NACO guidelines, 2010 (Strategy) /algorithm III).
• A single test result is not always indicative of a disease and diagnosis of HIV infection must be based on results of
supplemental, confirmatory tests performed on repeat sample & with clinical correlation for the patient’s immune status and
history.
• The test results obtained relate only to the sample given or received and tested
• Non Reactive results may not rule-out acute or early HIV infection in the window period. If acute HIV-1 infection is suspected,
detection of HIV-1 RNA or HIV proviral is recommended.
• Reactive results suggest possibility of preliminary infection with HIV-1 and/or HIV-2. All reactive samples should be verified
by submitting a second serum specimen for repeat testing with screening & supplemental or confirmatory HIV tests (by
serology-HIV 1 & 2 western blot or molecular- HIV 1 & 2 PCR).
• For the received samples, it is presumed that patient counselling is done at referring centre or by referring physician.
RPR : Rising titres are found in active disease and levels subside after successful treatment.
RPR is a simplified alternative to the conventional VDRL test. It has modified VDRL antigen which contains carbon
particles. Due to ease of visualisation, the test is sensitive and the test of choice for serum samples.
Interpretation :
1. TSH results between 4.5 to 15 show considerable physiologic & seasonal variation, suggest clinical correlation or repeat
testing with fresh sample .
2. TSH results between 0.1 to 0.45 require correlation with patient age & clinical symptoms. As with increasing age, there are
marked changes in thyroid hormone production, metabolism & its actions resulting in an increased prevalence of subclinical
thyroid disease.
3. TSH values may be transiently altered because of non thyroidal illness like severe infections,liver disease, renal and heart
failure,severe burns, trauma and surgery etc .
4. Drugs that decrease TSH values e.g:L-dopa,Glucocorticoid Drugs that increase TSH values e.g Iodine,Lithium,Amiodarone.
