What is Giardia lamblia PCR?

The Giardia lamblia PCR test detects the genetic material (DNA) of the Giardia lamblia parasite in a stool sample. This highly sensitive test is effective in confirming the presence of the parasite, even when only small amounts are present.

Why is this test important?

This PCR test is crucial for a definitive diagnosis of giardiasis, especially when other tests are inconclusive or in cases of suspected low parasite load. Its high sensitivity helps in identifying the infection early, allowing for timely and effective treatment to prevent complications.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required. Collect a fresh stool sample as instructed by your healthcare provider.
