Infertility testing
Several tests are available to determine why you, your partner or both of you have a problem that is causing infertility.

They include;
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), used to determine s***m count in men and egg production in women

Estradol: (important form of estrogen) Used to measure woman's ovarian function and evaluate quality of eggs.

LH ( Luteinizing Hormone): which is used to measure woman's ovarian reserve ( egg) supply

Serum progesterone: which is used to determine if ovulation is occurring

Prolactin: responsible for the normal production of milk and is used to rule out why women don't menstruate or why they are having infertility problems or abnormal ni**le discharge.

Testosterone: Which is probably the most well known androgen, is used to rule out the cause of low s*x drive in men, the inability to get an er****on or infertility. It is used to determine the cause of irregular periods in females. Thank you very much for your support.

Protein Energy Malnutrition ( PEM) is a nutritional condition occurring chiefly in developing countries among very young children! This is particularly common in incidences of famine where mothers' breast milk is always insufficient and proteins are supplied in very small quantities, leaving an individual to survive entirely on calories.

CrAg test

Despite access to antiretroviral therapy, mortality from cryptococcal meningitis (CM) is high among persons with advanced HIV infection in sub-Saharan Africa. Cryptococcal antigen (CrAg) is
present several weeks to months before the onset of symptoms of meningitis and can be screened
to prevent life threatening meningitis. Recently, the World Health Organisation recommended that a new rapid CrAg lateral flow ‘‘dipstick’’ assay (LFA) is to be used to screen HIV-infected persons
with CD4 counts of less than 100 cells/µL.

Dermatophytosis..

Dermatophytoses are infections of the skin, hair or nails caused by dermatophytes.Dermatophytes can induce typical diagnostic clinical lesions (tinea), but can also mimic other dermatoses. Therefore, physicians need to be familiar with the whole spectrum of tinea and
must constantly be mindful of possible dermatophytosis. An examination with Wood’s
light can be helpful. In superficial lesions, the demonstration of dermatophytes may be
achieved by dermatoscopy or laser scanning. An essential step of the following diagnostic
procedure is the skilful collection of samples for the proof of fungi. Microscopy of KOH mounts or
equivalent preparations produced from infected material and histology are approved methods.
The necessary identification of dermatophytes on species level can finally be accomplished by conventional methods based on cultures or by new techniques based on molecular differentiation or MALDI-TOF analysis. These modern methods are clearly on the increase and can considerably improve and accelerate dermatophyte identification.
