What is LEPTOSPIRA DNA PCR, URINE?

This test detects the genetic material (DNA) of the Leptospira bacteria in your urine. It's used to diagnose an active Leptospirosis infection, especially in the early stages when the bacteria might be present in the urine.

Why is this test important?

Leptospirosis is a bacterial infection that can cause flu-like symptoms, jaundice, and kidney problems. Detecting the DNA directly helps confirm an active infection, allowing for timely treatment and preventing severe complications.
