What does the intestinal pathogens test consist of?

 

The intestinal pathogen test consists of a complete Fecal Molecular Study.

 

It includes a set of analytical tests that detect almost 100% of the bacteria, viruses and parasites described as intestinal pathogens.

DNA extraction from stool sample.Amplification and qualitative detection by RT-PCR using a protocol with IVD certificate, (Validated for diagnosis) of pathogens.An internal control monitors correct DNA extraction and amplification, avoiding false negatives due to PCR inhibition.Grouping the results, a very precise diagnosis of all the microorganisms that attack the intestinal mucosa is obtained.

Which patients are eligible for the test?

Viruses, bacteria and parasites cause infections, alter the permeability and molecular transport of the intestine, causing metabolites not to be absorbed correctly.

People with altered intestinal mucosa experience the following disorders:

  • Intolerances
  • Food Hypersensitivities
  • Chronic Pathologies
  • Autoimmune processes

Most frequent symptoms.

  • Diarrhea
  • Abdominal pain
  • Fever

The detection of specific intestinal pathogens contributes to the appropriate treatment of patients, improving their quality of life.

Professional profile for the prescription of the intestinal pathogens test

The Intestinal Pathogens test does not require a Medical Prescription, however, it is very useful for professional staff in the following areas:

  • Digestive medicine
  • General medicine
  • Clinical laboratory
  • Pharmacy with medical advice or diagnostic services
  • Nutritionists
