Describe the purpose and sections of a laboratory requisition form, including patient demographics and test categories like hematology, urinalysis, parasitology, and bacteriology.

The form serves as a request for laboratory investigations and a record for the results obtained from those tests. It includes sections for patient demographics and different categories of medical tests.

The top section is for patient demographics, including Patient's Name, Address, Card No., Date, Department, Age, and Sex. This ensures proper identification of the patient and their samples.

• HAEMATOLOGY: Tests related to blood components, such as Haemoglobin, Haematocrit, Leukocyte count, and differential counts (neutrophils, eosinophils, lymphocytes, monocytes), ESR, blood grouping, and peripheral morphology.
• URINALYSIS: Examination of urine, including microscopic analysis (RBC, WBC, bacteria, casts) and chemical analysis (glucose, ketone, bilirubin, urobilinogen, albumin).
• PARASITOLOGY: Focuses on detecting parasites, primarily through stool examination (direct and concentrate methods).
• BACTERIOLOGY: Tests for bacterial infections, including Gram Stain and Acid Fast Stain.
• OTHERS: A miscellaneous section for other common tests like VDRL (for syphilis), FBS (Fasting Blood Sugar), RBS (Random Blood Sugar), Pregnancy test, Widal Test (for typhoid), and H/Pylory Test.

The bottom section includes spaces for who Requested by the tests and who Reported by the results, ensuring accountability and proper documentation.
