Laboratory Diagnosis

A laboratory diagnosis establishes an infection which needs two few samples to be gathered minimum 10 days apart and tested separately. As it can be complicated to get a second sample, few doctors suggest tests on a single sample. Though, if the test results still unsatisfying, a second sample will be recommended after the first sample in a laboratory. A second sample for laboratory diagnosis can be gathered anytime between 4 and 28 days. Collection of a second sample 10-20 days after the first will support the laboratory not just to recheck but, if an appropriate quantitative approach is accessible (Dongyou, 2016). Normally, two to three samples are gathered over a period of time to enhance the possibility of detecting infection if they are …show more content…

Various recommendations encourage a safety culture and comprise suggestions that supplement by focusing the exclusive demands of the diagnostic laboratory (Dongyou, 2016). They are not demands but suggestions that show current science and sound observation that can improve a secure working condition for all laboratorians. In these recommendations, quality laboratory science is protected by a common-sense method to biosafety in daily activities. As some of the similar diagnostic methods are applied in human diagnostic laboratories, the text is given with this in mind. All purposes of the laboratory should be focused. Suggestions for all laboratories contain use of biological safety cabinets that are checked yearly; frequent hand washing; use of suitable disinfectants, including 1:10 dilutions of household bleach; dependence on risk assessments for different activities; improvement of written security protocols that focus the chemicals risks in the laboratory; the need for wrong airflow into the laboratory; areas of the laboratory in which use of gloves is suggested. The perception of a "culture of safety," supports and motivates all diagnostic laboratories to encourage an organizational approach of systematic review of all work procedures to recognise related risks and apply plans to reduce those risks. Moreover, unidentified biohazard risk related with handling diagnostic samples, every area of the diagnostic laboratory has processes and procedures for controlling identified infective agents that convey excessive hazard for exposure and potential infection and/or occupational injury. These hazards are related with design flaws or lack of or inadequacy of safety processes and training. Furthermore, the day-to-day activities of a laboratory vary from those of a research or an academic laboratory and need particular biosafety assistance (Debra, and Maureen, 2013). Effective
