What is a Microfilaria Antigen Test in Mumbai ?
What is Microfilaria Antigen?
The Microfilaria Antigen test looks for proteins released by adult filarial worms in the blood. These proteins are called antigens. Accurate organism identification is clinically essential , typhoid, dengue, and malaria each require different treatment, and the wrong empirical approach delays recovery.
What does Microfilaria Antigen measure?
Detecting them helps show an active infection even when the tiny worms (microfilariae) are not seen on a microscope slide. This test is important for diagnosing lymphatic filariasis, a parasitic disease that can cause swollen limbs or genital areas. Doctors use it for screening people in areas where the disease is common. It also helps check whether treatment is working and supports public health programs that map or control the infection.
What symptoms suggest Microfilaria Antigen may be needed?
A doctor may recommend Microfilaria Antigen when a patient reports sudden fever (above 38.5°C), body aches and chills, persistent headache, nausea or vomiting, abdominal pain, skin rash, joint pain, and extreme fatigue. In Mumbai, you can book this test online with home collection available in Andheri, Ghatkopar, and beyond.
How is Microfilaria Antigen performed?
Collection is a routine blood draw. Using a single-use sterile needle, the phlebotomist takes a small sample from a vein in your arm; GetVisit's team in Andheri and Ghatkopar, Mumbai then barcodes and transports it under controlled conditions to the NABL lab.
How accurate is Microfilaria Antigen?
Every GetVisit sample from Andheri, Ghatkopar, and across Mumbai is processed at NABL-accredited labs that use internationally calibrated reference standards, pass external quality assessments, and maintain internal quality control at every shift. Reports are accepted by all major hospital networks, specialists, and insurance providers in India.
Are there any risks to Microfilaria Antigen?
This is a low-risk procedure whether done at a lab in Andheri or by home collection in Ghatkopar, Mumbai. The only intervention is the blood draw. Side effects are limited to a brief pinch and an occasional small bruise that resolves in 24 to 48 hours. Patients on anticoagulants should hold light pressure for 3 to 5 minutes after the draw.
Did you know?
Microfilarial antigen refers to proteins or other molecules released by microfilariae, the larval stage of filarial worms, that trigger the host immune response.

Why Take a Microfilaria Antigen Test in Mumbai ?
When does a doctor order Microfilaria Antigen?
Microfilaria Antigen is often included in parasitic infection panels or specific filarial antigen tests. Doctors may order it if you have unexplained swelling, fevers, enlarged lymph nodes, or travel history to regions where filariasis is common.
Who should get Microfilaria Antigen done in Mumbai?
Mumbai's June-to-September monsoon is among India's most intense , with annual rainfall averaging 2,500 mm, flooding low-lying areas including Kurla, Andheri (East), Ghatkopar, Dharavi, Dadar, and parts of Thane. Mumbai has a documented and significant leptospirosis burden , a bacterial infection contracted by wading through monsoon floodwater contaminated with rat urine, which is endemic in the city's flooding zones. Microfilaria Antigen testing is important for symptomatic patients, for confirming recovery, and for household members of a confirmed case. Testing early in Mumbai's fever season prevents the complications that come from treating the wrong infection.
What conditions can Microfilaria Antigen help diagnose?
It helps diagnose and monitor lymphatic filariasis and shows active adult-worm infection. Abnormal results usually reflect parasite infection from mosquito transmission. Family history of travel or exposure in endemic areas can make testing more important.
What do Microfilaria Antigen results mean?
Higher or positive results: A positive microfilaria test means larval filarial parasites are present in blood or skin, indicating an active filarial infection. Your doctor reads the value against the reference range on your report and your symptoms, and may repeat a borderline result to confirm it.
How often should Microfilaria Antigen be repeated?
Infection tests are ordered when symptoms are present rather than on a fixed schedule. Repeat testing may be needed to confirm recovery, to check clearance after treatment, or if fever recurs. During Mumbai's monsoon fever season, prompt retesting is advised for any new febrile illness.
What happens after Microfilaria Antigen results are ready?
Your GetVisit digital report is delivered to your phone as soon as results are authorised. Share it directly with your doctor via the app, or book a consultation with a GetVisit-verified specialist on the same platform. Critical values outside a safe range are flagged by the laboratory for urgent clinical review.
