Find Clarity in Your Breathing: Accurate Bacterial Pneumonia Detection
When every breath feels like a struggle and persistent coughs keep you awake at night, not knowing which bacteria is causing your pneumonia can be frightening. Our advanced Bacterial Pneumonia Multiplex Detection Test brings certainty to your treatment journey, identifying the exact bacterial culprit so your doctor can prescribe the right antibiotics from day one.
Understanding Your Bacterial Pneumonia Test
This sophisticated test uses Real-Time PCR technology to detect the genetic material (RNA) of three dangerous bacteria that cause severe pneumonia:
- Bordetella pertussis – Causes whooping cough, particularly dangerous for children and elderly
- Legionella pneumophila – Responsible for Legionnaires’ disease, often from contaminated water systems
- Klebsiella pneumoniae – A common hospital-acquired infection that’s becoming increasingly antibiotic-resistant
Unlike traditional methods that take days, our RNA detection provides accurate results within 36-48 hours, ensuring you get the right treatment faster.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide the answers you need:
- Persistent cough lasting more than 2 weeks
- High fever with chills and sweating
- Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
- Chest pain that worsens when breathing or coughing
- Fatigue and weakness that doesn’t improve
- Recent hospital stay or healthcare facility exposure
- Weakened immune system due to chronic conditions
Particularly important for residents of Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban where urban environments can increase exposure risks.
