I need to test for Tropical Pulmonary Eosinophilia. Are these tests same: "Filarial antigen" vs "Microfilaria detection" Which one of the two should I go for? The doc hasn't recommended but we want to check for it.

Dear lybrate-user, we would like to know your cmplaints like cough, shortness of breath, etc before we can advise you. There are other basic simple routine tests like comp; lete blood picture, x-ray chest etc before doing filarial antigen. Your doctor will do them step by step as required.
