**Gastro Intestinal (G.I) – Acute Intestinal Infectious (A.I.I) Screen Panel – 8 Parameters (Real-Time PCR)**

The Gastro Intestinal (G.I) – Acute Intestinal Infectious (A.I.I) Screen Panel is a comprehensive diagnostic test designed to detect eight key pathogens responsible for acute intestinal infections. Using advanced Real-Time PCR technology, this test identifies Shigella spp, Salmonella spp, Campylobacter spp, Adenovirus, Rotavirus, Astrovirus, Adenovirus (AdV), and Norovirus. It is a reliable and accurate tool for diagnosing gastrointestinal infections, enabling timely treatment and preventing complications.

**Why You Need This Test**
Acute intestinal infections can cause significant discomfort and lead to severe health complications if left untreated. This test is essential for identifying the root cause of gastrointestinal symptoms, such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, and vomiting, which are often caused by bacterial or viral pathogens. By pinpointing the specific pathogen, healthcare providers can recommend targeted treatments, reducing the risk of prolonged illness, dehydration, and other complications. This test is particularly valuable for individuals experiencing persistent or severe symptoms, those with weakened immune systems, or during outbreaks of gastrointestinal illnesses.

**Symptoms That Indicate This Test**
Consider taking the Gastro Intestinal (G.I) – Acute Intestinal Infectious (A.I.I) Screen Panel if you experience any of the following symptoms:
– Persistent or severe diarrhea
– Abdominal pain or cramping
– Nausea and vomiting
– Fever accompanied by gastrointestinal symptoms
– Blood or mucus in stool
– Dehydration symptoms, such as dry mouth, fatigue, or dizziness
– Recent travel to areas with poor sanitation or known outbreaks of gastrointestinal infections

**Natural Production**
The gastrointestinal system is naturally equipped to handle a variety of pathogens through the immune response and the protective lining of the gut. However, certain bacteria and viruses, such as Shigella spp, Salmonella spp, and Norovirus, can bypass these defenses, leading to infection. Factors such as poor hygiene, contaminated food or water, and weakened immunity can increase susceptibility to these pathogens. Identifying the specific cause of infection is crucial for effective treatment and recovery.

**What Happens If Untreated**
Ignoring symptoms of acute intestinal infections can lead to serious health risks, including:
– Severe dehydration, which can be life-threatening if untreated
– Spread of infection to other parts of the body, such as the bloodstream (sepsis)
– Chronic gastrointestinal issues, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
– Malnutrition due to poor nutrient absorption
– Increased risk of complications in vulnerable populations, such as children, the elderly, and immunocompromised individuals

Timely diagnosis and treatment are essential to prevent these complications and ensure a full recovery.

**How to Prepare for the Test**
To ensure accurate results, follow these preparation guidelines:
– Collect a fresh stool sample in a sterile container provided by the lab or healthcare provider.
– Avoid taking antibiotics, antidiarrheal medications, or probiotics for at least 48 hours before sample collection unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
– Inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are currently taking.

**Test Overview**
– **Sample Type**: Stool
– **Methodology**: Real-Time PCR
– **Turnaround Time (TAT)**: 3 Days

This test uses molecular PCR technology to detect the genetic material of pathogens with high precision, ensuring accurate and reliable results.
