Introduction
- The Leishmania IgG/IgM Rapid Test Device is a professional infectious disease rapid test designed for qualitative detection and differentiation of Leishmania IgG and IgM antibodies.
- This rapid antibody test is suitable for whole blood, serum, or plasma specimens.
- The device supports fast screening for suspected leishmaniasis in endemic regions and travel-related clinical evaluations.
- Results should be interpreted with symptoms, patient history, endemic-area exposure, and confirmatory testing when clinically required.
What Is Covid Ag Test
Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by Leishmania parasites and transmitted through infected sandfly bites. The disease may appear as cutaneous, mucocutaneous, or visceral leishmaniasis. Visceral leishmaniasis, also known as kala-azar, can become severe if not diagnosed and managed properly.
Importance
- Rapid antibody screening can help support early detection of suspected leishmaniasis cases.
- Leishmania IgM antibodies may indicate recent or active immune response, while IgG antibodies may suggest past exposure or ongoing immune response.
- Rapid testing may support hospitals, clinics, public health screening programs, travel medicine support, and endemic-area healthcare settings.
- Visceral leishmaniasis symptoms may include prolonged fever, weakness, enlarged spleen or liver, weight loss, and abnormal blood counts.
Intended Use
The Leishmania IgG/IgM Rapid Test Device by LARKSOIS Pharma may be used in professional diagnostic and infectious disease screening environments.
Applications
- Hospitals and clinics
- Diagnostic laboratories
- Fever and infectious disease clinics
- Public health screening programs
- Endemic-region healthcare settings
- Travel medicine support
- Medical procurement agencies
- International diagnostic distributors
- Professional point-of-care testing
How It Works
- The Leishmania IgG/IgM Rapid Test Device works on lateral flow immunochromatographic assay technology.
- When the specimen is added to the device, it migrates across the membrane by capillary action.
- If Leishmania-specific IgG or IgM antibodies are present, they react with coated recombinant antigens and form visible test lines.
- The test commonly includes an IgM line, IgG line, and a control line to confirm proper test performance.
Method
The Leishmania IgG/IgM Rapid Test Device uses rapid lateral flow immunochromatographic technology for qualitative detection and differentiation of Leishmania IgG and IgM antibodies in whole blood, serum, or plasma specimens.
Benefits
- Detects Leishmania IgG antibodies
- Detects Leishmania IgM antibodies
- Suitable for whole blood, serum, and plasma
- Rapid visual result
- Simple professional testing workflow
- No complex instrument required
- Supports endemic-region screening programs
- Useful for travel-related infectious disease evaluation
Specimen
The Leishmania IgG/IgM Rapid Test Device supports whole blood, serum, and plasma specimens. This flexibility allows healthcare professionals to use the most appropriate specimen type depending on laboratory workflow and clinical setting.
Guidance
- Use approved whole blood, serum, or plasma specimens only
- Collect specimens according to the product insert
- Use clean and suitable sample collection materials
- Avoid contaminated or improperly stored samples
- Apply the specimen correctly to the test device
- Read results only within the recommended time window
- Handle all specimens according to laboratory safety procedures
- Follow the official testing protocol carefully
Note
Specimen collection, testing, timing, and storage should always follow the official LARKSOIS Pharma kit insert.
Cut Off
The Leishmania IgG/IgM Rapid Test Device by LARKSOIS Pharma is designed for qualitative detection and differentiation of Leishmania IgG and IgM antibodies in whole blood, serum, or plasma specimens. Many Leishmania rapid tests use recombinant antigens such as rK39 for visceral leishmaniasis antibody screening.
Clinical Importance
- An IgM-positive result may suggest recent or active immune response.
- An IgG-positive result may indicate past exposure, later-stage infection, or ongoing immune response.
- A negative result does not completely rule out infection, especially in early disease stages or low antibody conditions.
- Diagnosis of leishmaniasis may also involve microscopy, PCR, tissue testing, culture, and serology depending on disease type and clinical context.
Limitations
The Leishmania IgG/IgM Rapid Test Device is a professional screening aid and should not be used as the only basis for diagnosis. Antibody-based testing may have limitations depending on disease type, immune response, and clinical stage.
Instructions
- For professional in-vitro diagnostic use only
- Use approved specimens only
- Improper specimen handling may affect results
- False positive or false negative results may occur
- Cross-reactivity may occur in some situations
- Clinical evaluation and confirmatory testing may be required
- Read results only within the recommended time
- Follow the official product insert carefully

Procedure
Steps
- Bring the test device, specimen, and buffer to room temperature
- Open the sealed pouch only when ready to test
- Place the test cassette on a clean and flat surface
- Add whole blood, serum, or plasma to the sample well
- Add buffer according to the instructions for use
- Wait for the recommended reaction time
- Read the IgG, IgM, and control lines within the valid time window
- Do not interpret results after the recommended reading time
- Dispose of used materials according to laboratory safety procedures
Note
Testing should be performed by trained healthcare professionals according to the official LARKSOIS Pharma product insert.
Result Interpretation
Positive
An IgM-positive result may suggest recent or active immune response. An IgG-positive result may indicate past exposure, ongoing infection, or later-stage immune response.
Negative
A negative result means Leishmania IgG/IgM antibodies were not detected at the test’s detectable level. Early infection or low antibody levels may still require further testing.
Invalid
If the control line does not appear, the test result is invalid. Testing should be repeated with a fresh device.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the gold standard for diagnosing leishmaniasis?+-
There is no single gold-standard test for all leishmaniasis cases. Diagnosis may involve microscopy, PCR, culture, tissue testing, and serology depending on disease type and clinical context.
What does it mean if IgM is negative but IgG is positive?+-
IgM negative and IgG positive may suggest past exposure, later-stage immune response, or previous infection. Results should be interpreted with symptoms, exposure history, and additional testing.
How do you test for leishmaniasis?+-
Leishmaniasis may be tested using microscopy, PCR, tissue samples, culture, and antibody-based serology. Rapid IgG/IgM tests help support screening, especially for suspected visceral leishmaniasis.
What is the name of the test for RK39?+-
The test is commonly called the rK39 rapid diagnostic test or rK39 immunochromatographic test. It detects antibodies against the recombinant K39 antigen.
What are the three serological tests?+-
Common serological tests include rapid diagnostic tests, ELISA, and indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT), which help detect antibody response against Leishmania.
