Description
Gastrointestinal parasitoses are infections of the digestive tract caused by various parasites, most often helminths (intestinal worms) or protozoa. The high morphological similarity of eggs between closely related species complicates the use of traditional microscopic diagnostic methods, especially for low-intensity infections. PCR test helps to identify and differentiate parasites even in the early stages of infection, and it helps you to start treatment on time and prevent the disease from becoming chronic.
ATTENTION: when ordering tests for bacterial and viral intestinal infections at the same time, the material should be delivered in different containers.
Studies are prescribed to make a diagnosis; carrying out differential diagnostics; in making choice of treatment tactics; screening before hospital treatment.
