rESULTS
sample Req.
The presence of pathogenic protozoa parasites within the gastrointestinal tract using molecular DNA-based detection. This method provides high sensitivity for identifying active infections that may not be detected through conventional microscopy or culture.
Faecal
cOST
The results of your health assessment have identified specific signs and symptoms that are clinically consistent with an increased risk of
Parasitic Protozoa Infection
Positive Protozoa Parasitic infection results are associated with a range of conditions and signs, which have been clinically verified to include
Chronic soft stool to diarrhoea
Abdominal pain
Nausea
Bloating
Fatigue
Joint pain
This investigation is optional and may be used to verify the need for parasitic intervention.
In the absence of testing, the treatment plan is tailored to address suspected contributors based on the presence of specific signs and symptoms and their degree of correlation with those contributors. If testing is undertaken, the assessment will be re-evaluated in accordance with the test results. You will be updated with the test results alongside any treatment revisions necessary.
A stool analysis kit will be dispatched directly to you, accompanied by detailed written instructions outlining appropriate sample collection procedures to ensure specimen integrity and accuracy of results.
The kit includes all necessary collection materials and a prepaid return package to facilitate secure transport back to the laboratory for processing.
To minimise transit delays and preserve sample stability, collection is to be completed on a Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday only, thereby avoiding weekend postage interruptions.
