What is Syndromic testing?
Syndromic Testing can simultaneously screen for a wide range of infections and can be used to identify the cause of a gastrointestinal infection by analyzing a single stool sample for bacteria, viruses, and parasites. This type of testing also can help healthcare providers choose the right treatment.
Typically, a stool sample is collected from the patient. The sample is then examined for various infectious microbes, including bacteria, viruses, parasites, and fungi. Normally, test results are available within an hour, allowing healthcare providers to initiate treatment promptly.
