SIGNIFICANCE OF CULTURE AND SENSITIVITY TEST

 If you live long enough, you would experience one bacteria infection or the other. 

Most adults have experienced bacteria infection especially Staphylococcus aureus infection.

Staph is a very stubborn bacteria. Difficult to wipe away completely from the body once infected by it.

Staph. infection and other bacteria infections are responsible for over 50% of infertility in married couples. Infection with Staph. can cause low sperm counts and can prevent conception too.

For a pregnant woman, serious staph infection can cause miscarriage, low birth weight of the baby or even malformation of the baby.

Bacteria infection can be treated by blind treatment whereby your doctor or health care provider gives you antibiotics without performing culture and sensitivity tests through a medical laboratory. This practice is encouraged especially in emergency cases such as septicemia(severe blood bacteria infection) whereby the patient is already unconscious and waiting until lab culture result is out will mean the patient might have died before the lab result is out. It's also encouraged in community practices where there's no lab that has the capacity to perform lab culture and sensitivity tests.

However, the best way to identify a particular bacteria infection in a patient and to wipe it away completely from the patient's body system is to perform a culture and sensitivity test. This is the gold standard for the most successful treatment of bacteria infection.

In performing a culture test, a sample for test, say: urine, sputum, semen (sperm), high vaginal swab, stool, blood, wound swab, etc is collected aseptically (under sterile conditions) from the patient. Culture is done to multiply the incriminating bacteria in the infection.

Then, out of the multiplied incriminated bacteria, an isolate of the bacteria is used to do antibiotic susceptibility test(a.k.a sensitivity tests). The essence of this test is to determine which specific antibiotics would wipe off the bacteria as it will manifest in the sensitivity test. The antibiotics given to patients in treating bacteria infections are the same antibiotics used for performing this sensitivity test. A clear and wide clearance of the incriminated bacteria is seen around the antibiotics that will clear the infection when the sensitivity test is concluded

Consequently, when the patient is given any or a combination of those antibiotics that cleared the infection in the sensitivity test, the infection is equally wiped off completely from the system of the patient. That's how important culture and sensitivity tests are. And that's why it's the gold standard in the treatment of bacteria infections especially stubborn bacteria infections like Staph aureus infection.

At CHDL, we pride ourselves as a culture and sensitivity tests center of excellence boasting of a wide range of broad spectrum antibiotics for sensitivity tests not available in a regular medical laboratory.

SIGNIFICANCE OF GENOTYPE TEST

 SIGNIFICANCE OF GENOTYPE TEST:

Genotype test is the test done to determine the GENE TYPE of an individual. 

Fundamentally, an individual can have AA, AS or SS GENE TYPE (a.k.a GENOTYPE). There are other less popular genotypes like the AC and the SC genotypes.

Genotype test is significant or important because if two AS individuals marry each other, they stand the chance of having one or more SS children. SS simply means sickle cell. Sickle cell is a genetic disease. A child having sickle cell disease is a burden to his/her family.

The child often has health crises and may need blood transfusion from time to time.

Hence, no couple would want to give birth to an SS child.

It is therefore wise and mandatory that every two individuals intending to get married should do genotype test in a registered medical laboratory before they get married. This is to find out if their genotypes are compatible for marriage.

At CHDL, we pride ourselves as a genotype test center of excellence. We have helped several couples who have an SS child to unravel the mystery behind their child's chronic health challenge.

In one case, it turned out on our testing that the mother of the child who believed she was AA before she got married was actually AS just like her husband. This shows she got a wrong genotype result from the private Laboratory where she did the test previously.

Another case involved a poor couple who didn't do genotype test before they got married. They complained of having had four children each of which died in childhood. And their fifth child of about six months old was sick and they were scared he might die too.

On testing at CHDL, it turned out that the parents were both AS genotype and the little child was SS. We advised them accordingly.

We therefore advocate at CHDL, that no two individuals should get married in this information age and digital world without first performing their genotype test in a reliable Medical Laboratory.

It is instructive to confirm the genotype test result in a government or mission hospital if you first did it in a private Medical Laboratory.

The implications of a wrong genotype test result are so far-reaching to approach it carelessly, in a hurry or shabbily. Make sure it's repeated in a government hospital or mission hospital especially if your partner's genotype is confirmed to be AS and you are not very confident of the source of your own genotype result.

To the health and happiness of your family!

CHDL...a genotype test center of excellence.

CURE FOR HEPATITIS B AND C DISCOVERED AT CHDL

Through intensive research by our internet savvy senior partner: Scientist Izu Godson Udemezue, the antiviral drugs combinations with other adjuvants for treating Hepatitis C and Hepatitis B have been discovered at CHDL.

These drugs combination guarantees 100% cure for Hepatitis C and guarantees suppressing Hepatitis B to an almost complete cure level where the infection will no longer be a burden to the infected person.

At CHDL, we have helped two patients access treatment and recover completely from Hepatitis C. The recovered individuals are always proud to talk about it and how CHDL has been used by God to save them from premature death.

We have also helped a patient subdue Hepatitis B to the point where it is no longer a threat to his young life.

We want to spread this good news because it breaks our hearts each time we see a patient needlessly die of the complications of Hepatitis B or C in our environment; a situation no longer obtainable in U.S.A. where the drugs for Hepatitis B and C treatment have long been discovered and approved by the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) of the United States.

The drugs are obviously costly but weighed against the benefits, it is worth it.

THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER

 Year 2020 was a tough year for the whole world. From March 2020, the whole world went into total lockdown due to the novel COVID-19 outbreak.

We at CHDL were not spared. COVID-19 outbreak adversely affected our expansion plan.

We had earlier in August 2019 expanded the values we are creating for the local communities we serve and hired new staff.

Then, barely seven months after, COVID-19 lockdown struck. We managed to hold on to our expansion. But it got really hard and we had to unfortunately lay-off all the staff we hired for the expansion program while retaining all our original staff.

Now, 2021 has arrived and the world is gradually recovering from the damaging effects of COVID-19. Social life is gradually returning to normal and people are beginning to rebuild their lives and their economy. 

Many new and better ways of doing things have also emerged due to the COVID-19 effect and people are leveraging on them.

We at CHDL are part of the recovery process the world is experiencing currently. Things are getting better and we promise to continue providing innovative solutions to our patients and clients.

We are working towards serving you in more creative and enterprising ways.

We pray that things keep getting better and better for you also as you partake in the global recovery from COVID-19.

We urge you to hold dear your health because it remains your number one asset. Remember, if you have ₦1,000,000,000 in your bank account, the 1 that comes first in that ₦1bn figure represents your health. Once you remove it, the remaining nine zeros have no value at all. What is wealth if you are not healthy and happy to enjoy it? 

Please protect your health. Give it priority.

Don't forget that at CHDL,  your total health- spirit, soul and body is our focus. That is why people who do laboratory tests in our Laboratory often go home with free copies of the life-transforming books written by CHDL senior partner-Izu Godson Udemezue. Those books help to enforce the health of your soul and spirit as much as our health care to you helps enforce the health of your body.

You can choose to have a free copy of any of these book titles written by Izu Godson after running your tests:

1. From Poverty to Riches: This Can Be Your Story: All the Secrets of the Rich Finally Revealed.

2. Your Solution is in You: Read this Book and Get All Your Problems Solved; One Day at a Time.
