Find Relief from Severe Diarrhoea and Abdominal Pain
When persistent diarrhoea, fever, and stomach cramps disrupt your life, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. Our Shigella Dysentrica Bacterial Load Test provides the clarity you need to move forward with confidence. Using advanced Real Time PCR technology, we deliver precise results that guide effective treatment decisions.
Understanding Your Shigella Dysentrica Test
This specialised test measures the exact amount of Shigella bacteria in your system through highly sensitive Real Time PCR analysis. Unlike standard tests that only detect presence, our bacterial load quantification helps your healthcare provider understand the severity of your infection and tailor treatment accordingly.
We analyse samples including whole blood, rectal swabs, food samples, and water samples to provide comprehensive detection capabilities.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide critical answers:
- Persistent, severe diarrhoea lasting more than 48 hours
- Blood or mucus in your stool
- High fever accompanied by abdominal cramps
- Nausea and vomiting with digestive discomfort
- Recent exposure to contaminated food or water
- Family members or close contacts with similar symptoms
Particularly important for children, elderly individuals, and those with compromised immune systems who are more vulnerable to severe complications.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested early provides multiple health advantages:
- Targeted Treatment: Accurate bacterial load results help your doctor prescribe the most effective antibiotics
