Patient's Query

HBsAg (ECLIA) Test regarding suggestions

Answered by Dr. Babita Goel

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in the blood. This test is highly sensitive and specific and is the preferred method for the diagnosis of HBsAg infection. An electro-chemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA) can also be used to detect HBsAg in the blood. This test is less sensitive than ELISA, but it is more specific, meaning it is less likely to give a false positive result.

Mujhe 2 saal pahele vaccinated dog ne kata tha aur maine vaccination nhi karwaya tha toh kya mujhe koi problem ho sakti hai

Female | 16

If bitten by a dog, get medical attention right away. Rabies is an acute syndrome of fatality and cannot be treated after symptoms appear. The vaccine is very effective but only if it was given before the appearance of symptoms. If you have been bitten by a dog, contact an appropriate medical specialist as soon as possible.

I want to give paint killer to my son of 17yrs as an hour b4 he has taken paracetamol can I give him movera 15mg

Male | 17

Movera is a pain re­lieving medication. Howeve­r, taking both medications close togethe­r might not be safe. They can pote­ntially cause stomach problems like ulce­rs or bleeding if taken too close­. It's better to wait a few hours be­fore administering Movera. If he­'s still experiencing pain afte­r that, you could consider giving him Movera later. But it's always wise­ to consult a doctor be­fore combining different drugs.

Weakness due to mastrubating

Masturbation is not the cause of weakness. It is a form of regular and natural sexual encounter. However excessive masturbation could cause fatigue and other symptoms which might be related to mental health issues.
