Lab. Scientist Recommends Mass Screening of Nigerians for Immunoglobulin

3 Min Read
Mr Nseabasi Ekpang, Chairman,  Association of Medical Laboratory Scientists of Nigeria (AMLSN), Imo State Chapter,  has recommended mass screening of Nigerians for immunoglobulin as a preventive measure against Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Ekpang made the recommendation in an interview with News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Owerri on Friday.
According to him, building strong immunity against the virus is the best way of strengthening the body’s defence against COVID-19 disease.

”The level of immunity plays a serious role in resistance to virus infection.

”Persons with suppressed immunity resulting from age, sedentary lifestyles, physiological conditions, ill-health and other factors, are more likely to be easily infected by the virus.

”Immunological studies indicate that at early infections, the body’s immunoglobulin is triggered in the presence of an antigen.

”The detection by testing of these early immunoglobulin gives us a clue of likely infection and tells us where caution, isolation and follow up, can come in.

”So, one of the steps I strongly recommend is mass screening for immunoglobulin at this stage.

”This will enable us to detect early exposures, observe and quarantine suspected cases for about ten days.

”Then re-test and confirm early positive cases before symptoms manifest for COVID-19, thus giving us an opportunity to curb the pandemic,” he said.

Ekpang said he would encourage the governments to take the proactive step of having more screening centres.

He said that the government could also collaborate with private practitioners who would conduct immunoglobulin tests to everyone at the expense of government because prevention is cheaper than cure.

The medical lab. the scientist said that COVID-19 pandemic could be likened to the case of a local fowl and broiler.
He added that when exposed to the same adverse condition, local fowl had better chances of survival than the broiler because physiological conditions had helped the local fowl build immunity.
Ekpang said that proactive measures such as mass screening would identify the immunity level of each individual with the aim of prevention rather than cure.
