SKU:GI9
Digestive issues such as persistent diarrhoea, abdominal pain, bloating, or unexplained fatigue may be linked to gut infections. The GI Pathogens - GI9 test screens for nine of the most common bacterial, viral, and parasitic pathogens that cause gastrointestinal illness. By identifying the source of infection, this Gastrointestinal Pathogens test supports timely treatment and recovery.
Why GI Pathogens Test - GI9 Matters?
This panel measures viral causes of gastroenteritis unavailable by other common stool tests. Moreover, it also detects the presence of parasites such as Cryptosporidium, Giardia, & Entamoeba histolytica and Helicobacter pylori. Early detection helps prevent complications, guides appropriate treatment, and reduces the risk of transmission to others.
What Gets Assessed?
- Bacteria: Common bacterial pathogens associated with diarrhoea and foodborne illness
- Viruses: Key viral agents that disrupt digestive health
- Parasites: Protozoa linked with gastrointestinal infection and inflammation
