Sterling Accuris offers a Giardia Antigen Detection Test in Adipur to detect the presence of the parasite Giardia lamblia in the intestine, a common cause of diarrhoea.
Overview of the Giardia Antigen Detection Test
Giardia lamblia, a type of protozoa with flagella, can be present as contaminants in natural bodies of water such as streams, lakes, and reservoirs used for municipal water supply. Humans can become infected by ingesting the parasite's environmentally resistant cysts through contaminated water, food, or by touching contaminated surfaces or objects. The Giardia Antigen Detection test in stool is a laboratory diagnostic procedure used to detect Giardia lamblia, the parasite responsible for giardiasis. Giardia is a common cause of diarrhoea that lives in the intestine and leaves through stool. The test involves searching a stool sample for specific proteins or antigens the parasite produces. This test is susceptible and specific, producing reliable results even when parasite levels are low.
The Giardia Antigen Detection test can provide important clues about giardia parasite infection which is helpful for clinicians in planning treatment. Book a Giardia Antigen Detection test near you to detect Giardia Antigen Detection to prevent parasite transmission.
