Advanced GI Pathogen Detection Panel
SKU:GI6
Infections in the gastrointestinal tract may cause unexplained diarrhoea, abdominal pain, nausea, or fatigue. The GI Pathogens Profile Test screens for a wide range of bacteria, viruses, and parasites that can lead to acute or chronic digestive symptoms. It helps identify infectious causes quickly, supporting targeted treatment and faster recovery.
Why GI Pathogens Profile Test Matters?
Infections in the gut can disrupt digestion, weaken immunity, and lead to ongoing health concerns. This test helps detect harmful pathogens that may otherwise go unnoticed. Early diagnosis enables precise treatment, reduces complications, and prevents the spread of infection.
