Cholera

 

Describe Lab diagnosis of cholera

          1. Dark ground illumination examination of stool for darting motility. Diagnosis is confirmed by adding antiserum to the sample which abolish the motility .

           2. Cultural isolation from stool on tellurite gelatin agar or any other special medium particularly , alkaline peptone water and thiosulphate eitrate bile salt.

            3. By chemical reaction :- Cholera Vibrio ferments glucose , maltose , mannite and sucrose with acid production only.

             4. Cholera Red Reaction :- This is rapid method of diagnosis bacteria grown in peptone water is mixed with 1 drop of Conc Hzso4 media turns red if cholera is present.

              5. GRERG test for hemolysis :- It is done for differentiating cholera from EL – TORS , EL – TOR is haemolytic and cholera is not.

               6. Agglutination Test :- For antigenic classification into oguva , in ova and hikajima.

              7.  Phage typing by phage – 4 :- Cholera is not killed by phage – 4.

              8. String Test :- Bacterial suspension + 0 ˙5 % sodium deoxycholate – Clera the turbidity + mucoid-+ ve.

HEMOGLOBIN

  HEMOGLOBIN ( Hb ) Hemoglobin is the most important component of red blood cells. It is composed of a protein called haem, which binds for carbon dioxide . Abnormilities of an individual’s hemoglobin value can indicate defects in the normal balance between red blood cell production and destruction. Both low and high values can indicate disease states. Hemoglobin is a protein in red lood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the human body’s   tissues   & organs,it also carries carbon dioxide back to the lungs.

MICROSCOPE

                                     MICROSCOPE Introduction of microscope The microscope is indispensable for a clinical laboratory technician. It is very important to have a sound knowledge of the microscope which is going to be a constant comparing in his daily work. To obtain desired magnification for visualizing the objects, the scientists did untiring efforts. The world microscope is derived from two Greek words - ''micro'' (small) and ''scope'' (view). Simple microscope discoveries by Anthony von Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) and subsequently compound microscope by Robert Hook (1635-1703) were made. It is an instrument by which very small things can be seen which are not seen by the necked eye. This is done by producing an enlarged and well defined image of the objects by a system of lens. Principle of microscope The light beam, which falls on the object, p...
