parotitis 5

Laboratory Examination

Laboratory examination is not too typical, like other viral infections. Number of leukocyte normal or there is a relatively lymphocytes with leukopenia. As additional checks can be done Neutralization Test, virus isolation, intradermal test, and measurement amylase degree in serum.
Neutralization tests performed with the patient mix the serum with the culture medium for chick embryo fibroblast and then test whether there is hemadsorbsi. Dilution of serum to prevent the occurrence of hemadsorbsi expressed by parotitis epidemic antibody titer. This examination to determine the immunity against parotitis epidemic.
Virus isolation is done by creating a culture or monkey kidney cells. Expressed a positive culture when there is hemadsorbsi culture in a given fluid and NaCl-phosphate does not exist in the culture of the hiperimun.
Intradermal test performed with 0.1 ml of fluid containing the virus parotitis epidemic dead in intrakutan in the polar arm down and read 24 - 48 hours later. Examination revealed positive when there is eritema and indurasi greater than 15 mm. examination is still in doubt uses assessment immunity against parotitis epidemic.
Human culture or monkey kidney cells are used mainly for virus isolation. The influence sitopatik sometimes found, but hemadsorbsi is the most sensitive indicator. The virus has isolated saliva, serebrospinal fluid, blood, urine, brain and tissue infected lain.
