Find Relief from Persistent Digestive Issues with Our Cryptosporidium Test
When unexplained diarrhoea, stomach cramps, or digestive discomfort disrupts your daily life, it’s natural to feel concerned and frustrated. Our Cryptosporidium Antigen Stool Test provides the clear answers you need to move forward with confidence. For just ZAR 950, you can access same-day, accurate testing that detects this common parasite affecting many South Africans.
Understanding Your Cryptosporidium Test
Cryptosporidium is a microscopic parasite that causes cryptosporidiosis, a diarrhoeal disease that can be particularly severe in children, elderly individuals, and those with compromised immune systems. Our advanced antigen detection method identifies specific proteins from the parasite in your stool sample, providing highly reliable results you can trust.
Using immunochromatographic technology (ICT), our test delivers exceptional accuracy in detecting Cryptosporidium infections. This method is widely recognised by gastroenterologists and medical professionals across South Africa for its reliability in diagnosing parasitic infections.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, our Cryptosporidium test could provide the answers you need:
- Persistent watery diarrhoea lasting more than a few days
- Stomach cramps or abdominal pain
- Nausea, vomiting, or loss of appetite
- Low-grade fever and general fatigue
- Unexplained weight loss
Particularly important for: parents concerned about children’s digestive health, individuals with weakened immune systems, elderly patients, and anyone who has recently travelled or consumed potentially contaminated water.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Identifying Cryptosporidium infection early can prevent serious complications and help you get back to feeling your best. The benefits of timely testing include:
- Prevent Dehydration: Early treatment helps manage symptoms before severe dehydration occurs
- Stop Transmission: Proper diagnosis helps prevent spreading infection to family members
- Targeted Treatment: Accurate results guide effective medical treatment
- Peace of Mind: Clear answers reduce anxiety about unexplained symptoms
- Faster Recovery: Early intervention typically leads to quicker resolution of symptoms

Positive Result: Indicates Cryptosporidium infection is present. Don’t worry – this means we’ve identified the cause of your symptoms, and your healthcare provider can recommend appropriate treatment. Most healthy individuals recover completely with proper care.
