GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT INFECTION TEST

Understand Digestive Infections & Protect Your Gut Health

Gastrointestinal (GI) infections occur when harmful bacteria, viruses, or parasites enter the digestive system. These infections can affect the stomach, intestines, or colon and often cause symptoms like diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, and fever.

While some cases resolve naturally, others can become serious if not identified early — especially in children, older adults, and individuals with weakened immune systems. Early testing helps prevent complications such as dehydration, nutrient loss, and prolonged illness.

How Our GI Infection Test Works

Fast, Accurate Detection Through Advanced Molecular Testing

At Novagen Clinical Lab, we use multiplex PCR technology to detect a broad range of gastrointestinal pathogens from a single stool sample. Unlike traditional culture methods that take days or may miss certain organisms, our approach provides results within 24 hours and identifies infections quickly and reliably.

Our GI panel can detect:

• Bacterial PathogensSalmonella, Shigella, pathogenic E. coli strains, Campylobacter, C. difficile, Vibrio species, and more.
• Viral Pathogens Norovirus, Rotavirus, Adenovirus, Sapovirus, Astrovirus.
• Parasitic Pathogens Giardia lamblia, Cryptosporidium, Entamoeba histolytica.
  This comprehensive analysis helps healthcare providers choose the right treatment faster and avoid unnecessary use of antibiotics.
