Infectious Disease Testing – A Comprehensive Solution for Early Detection and Holistic Health Protection at Medic Saigon
Infectious diseases (also known as communicable diseases) constitute a highly prevalent group of illnesses, capable of affecting individuals of all ages, genders, and nationalities. The primary causes are viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites that penetrate the body through various transmission routes. At Medic Saigon Diagnostic Clinic, infectious disease testing is regarded as one of our foremost specialties, enabling patients to achieve early detection, timely treatment, and minimized community transmission.
Infectious Disease Testing at Medic Sai Gon
Etiology and Transmission Routes
The causative agents of infectious diseases include:
- Viruses: Responsible for illnesses such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, influenza, measles, herpes, HPV, and chickenpox (varicella), among others.
- Bacteria: Examples include Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Tuberculosis), Neisseria gonorrhoeae (Gonorrhea), and Chlamydia trachomatis.
- Fungi (Fungal Agents): Such as Candida and Aspergillus, commonly causing infections of the skin, mucous membranes, and reproductive organs.
- Parasites: Including helminths (worms), intestinal parasites, or protozoa that parasitize the blood.
These agents can be transmitted through various routes, specifically:
- Blood and Bodily Fluids Route: This is a high-risk transmission pathway, causing diseases such as Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, Syphilis, and Gonorrhea.
- Respiratory Route: Through droplets or airborne particles, leading to pulmonary tuberculosis, Influenza A/B, COVID-19, etc.
- Gastrointestinal Route (Fecal-Oral Route): Via contaminated food, water, or unwashed hands, causing infections like H. pylori (gastric HP), Hepatitis A, and Hepatitis E.
- Skin and Mucosal Route (Direct Contact): Through direct physical contact, causing conditions such as genital warts (HPV), herpes (HSV-1, HSV-2), and chickenpox.
- Multiple Routes of Transmission: Certain pathogens, such as Candida fungus, HIV, and various sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), can be transmitted simultaneously through blood, bodily fluids, and skin contact.
Consequences and Complications of Infectious Diseases
Infectious diseases not only cause immediate discomfort but also pose potential risks of serious complications:
- Genitourinary Tract Inflammation: Leading to infertility and subfertility.
- Sepsis, Respiratory Failure, and Hepatic-Renal Failure (Liver and Kidney Failure).
- Neurological Damage and Cardiovascular Disorders.
- Immune Deficiency (Particularly in the case of HIV/AIDS).
- Pregnancy Complications: Including miscarriage, premature birth, and vertical transmission to the fetus.
- Contributing to the escalation of global antimicrobial resistance.
Therefore, routine testing and proactive screening are absolutely essential, enabling early detection even before distinct symptoms manifest.

These tests are performed to facilitate early detection, assess the viral activity level, and determine the potential for transmission:
- HBsAg (Hepatitis B surface Antigen): – To determine whether the patient has an active Hepatitis B infection.
- Anti-HCV (Antibody to Hepatitis C virus): – To detect the presence of Hepatitis C antibodies.
- HAV IgM / IgG, HEV IgM / IgG: – Screening for Hepatitis A and Hepatitis E, which are typically transmitted via the fecal-oral route (gastrointestinal route).
3.2. HIV and Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) Test Panel
- HIV 1&2 (ELISA or Rapid Test): – Highly accurate early detection of the HIV virus.
- Syphilis (RPR, TPHA): – Determining the stage of the disease and monitoring treatment efficacy.
- Gonorrhea (Neisseria gonorrhoeae): – Detected via culture techniques or Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
- Chlamydia trachomatis: – Causes urethritis and cervicitis, potentially impacting reproductive health.
- HPV (Human Papillomavirus): – HPV genotyping is used to detect genital warts and assess the risk of cervical cancer.
- Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1, HSV-2): – Blood or lesion fluid testing to determine whether the infection is acute or chronic.
- Candida (Fungus), Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma: – Causative agents of genital inflammation, itching, burning sensation, and abnormal discharge.
- Comprehensive 14-STD Test Package: – Facilitates a holistic screening for 14 common infectious agents in both males and females with a single sample collection.
3.3. Bacteria and Parasite Test Panel
- H. pylori (Helicobacter pylori): Tested via breath test, blood test, or stool analysis to detect the bacteria responsible for gastritis and peptic ulcers.
- Tuberculosis (TB Test, IGRA Test): Early detection of latent TB infection, particularly in high-risk individuals.
