Molecular Testing (Real-Time PCR): Characterized by high sensitivity and specificity, this test detects the genetic material (DNA) of the most common human parasites.

Advantages of diagnosing parasitic diseases using the Real-Time PCR method:

• High sensitivity (detecting as few as 4 copies of DNA in the sample).
• High specificity (ensuring accurate species identification of the detected parasite).
• Performed on 3 stool samples.
• Short waiting time for results (5 business days).

Indications for testing using the Real-Time PCR method:

• Presence of clinical symptoms indicative of a parasitic disease despite negative stool test results (using microscopic observation methods or immunological methods).

Testing for zonulin, lactoferrin, and calprotectin concentrations is performed using the ELISA method.

Instructions for sampling are included in the package.
