Title: Laboratory Strengthening under IDSP
1Laboratory Strengthening under IDSP
2Current Strategy
- Strengthening of 50 district priority labs
- Establishing state referral lab network for
etiological diagnosis of outbreaks of epidemic
prone diseases in the districts (in 9 states)
3Strengthening of district priority labs
- Expected outcomes
- Undertake laboratory confirmation of epidemic
prone diseases on a routine basis - Tests to be performed
- Blood culture for typhoid
- Serological test for typhoid
- Stool Culture for Cholera
- Dengue IgM ELISA
- ELISA/Rapid test for Leptospirosis (in endemic
areas) - Other tests for diagnosis of epidemic prone
diseases - Support outbreak investigations in the district
- Participate in EQAS
- Report weekly data in L form to CSU for monitoring

12Important issues related to functionality of
district priority labs
- State and District IDSP officers to facilitate
generation of lab based surveillance data of
epidemic prone diseases from district hospitals - Integration of IDSP lab, including the
microbiologist, as a part of the main laboratory
of the district hospital - Routine referral of specimens for testing of
epidemic prone diseases - Upgrading the microbiology component of the
district labs and ensure availability of
resources in terms of manpower and consumables
13State Referral Lab Network
- Functional laboratories of states, primarily in
medical colleges linked to adjoining districts
for etiological diagnosis of outbreaks of
epidemic prone diseases - Annual grant of Rs. 2 lakhs to maintain
performance standards, subsequent reimbursement
based on tests performed (ceiling of 3 lakhs per
annum/lab)
14Tests to be performed
- Cholera and other enteropathogens culture and
sensitivity and serotyping - Typhoid Serological tests (TyphiDot) and Culture
antimicrobial sensitivity (including isolate
confirmation with specific antisera) - Bacterial meningitis-rapid latex agglutination
test, CSF examination-wet mount, gram stain and
culture antimicrobial sensitivity. - Hepatitis A-IgM µ capture ELISA
- Hepatitis E- IgM µ capture ELISA
- Measles- IgM µ capture ELISA
- Dengue- IgM µ capture ELISA
- Diphtheria-Smear examination, culture,
toxigenecity testing - Leptospirosis-ELISA/Rapid test
- Any other tests for locally prevalent epidemic
prone disease (to be identified by the state)

16Important issues related to functionality of
referral lab network
- State epidemiologist and state microbiologist to
ensure all outbreaks in the state undergo lab
investigation - Regular district level meetings conducted by
District surveillance officers and
epidemiologists for streamlining the bottle necks
for optimum utilization of referral lab network - Good communication between DSOs of linked
districts and nodal microbiologists from referral
labs - State microbiologist to ensure timely reporting
of - lab results of outbreak samples by referral labs,
- submission of quarterly reports by referral labs
to CSU
