Find Relief from Persistent Stomach Troubles with Our Campylobacter Test
When stomach cramps, diarrhoea, and fever disrupt your life, it’s natural to feel anxious and uncertain. You deserve clear answers and effective treatment. Our Campylobacter Antigen Stool Test provides the reliable diagnosis you need to start your recovery journey with confidence.
Understanding Your Campylobacter Test
This simple, non-invasive test detects Campylobacter bacteria in your stool sample using advanced Immunochromatographic Test (ICT) technology. Campylobacter is one of the most common causes of bacterial gastroenteritis in South Africa, often contracted through contaminated food or water. The test specifically identifies antigens produced by the bacteria, providing accurate results that guide your healthcare provider in prescribing the right treatment.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide the answers you need:
- Persistent diarrhoea lasting more than 2-3 days
- Severe abdominal cramps and pain
- Fever and general malaise
- Nausea and vomiting accompanying diarrhoea
- Blood in your stool
- Recent consumption of undercooked poultry or contaminated water
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
Timely diagnosis of Campylobacter infection is crucial because:
- Prevents the infection from progressing to more serious conditions
- Reduces the risk of complications like reactive arthritis or Guillain-Barré syndrome
- Helps prevent spreading the infection to family members
- Ensures you receive appropriate antibiotic treatment when necessary
- Provides peace of mind and clear direction for recovery
