Test Overview & Methodology

This qualitative RNA test employs multiplex Real-Time PCR (qPCR) to simultaneously detect and differentiate Vibrio cholerae serogroups O1, non-O1, O139, and the cholera toxin gene (ctx) in stool, environmental water, or culture samples. The assay provides critical information for outbreak management and therapeutic decision-making with high sensitivity and specificity.

Feature	Our Cholera Multiplex RNA Test	Conventional Stool Culture & Serotyping
Method	Multiplex Real-Time PCR (qPCR) + optional Whole Genome Sequencing (WGS)	Culture on selective media + slide agglutination
Sensitivity / Specificity	>99.9% clinical sensitivity; detection of viable but non-culturable (VBNC) organisms	Lower sensitivity; false negatives in early infection or after antibiotics
Turnaround Time	24 hours (phone) / 36 hours (email)	3–5 working days
Targeted Information	Serogroup differentiation (O1, O139, non-O1) and toxin gene (ctx) for virulence assessment	Serogroup only; no toxin gene detection

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols

“As a clinician specializing in infectious diseases, I emphasize that a positive cholera RNA result must be immediately correlated with the patient’s hydration status and epidemiological exposure. Initiate rehydration and infection control measures without awaiting confirmatory culture, and interpret results within the full clinical context.”

— Dr. Ajay Singh, General Practitioner, DHA License 36234132

⚠ Medication Advisory

Do not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Antibiotic therapy, if initiated, should be based on susceptibility testing and clinical guidelines.

Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags

Exclusion: Inability to provide a stool or water sample; patients under 12 years without legal guardian consent; absence of cold-chain transport capability.
ER Red Flags: Severe dehydration (sunken eyes, skin pinch ≥2 seconds, no urine output >6 hours), rapid thread pulse, altered consciousness, or shock — seek emergency care immediately.

Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance

1. What does the Vibrio cholerae multiplex RNA test detect?

This test rapidly identifies cholera-causing Vibrio cholerae serogroups O1, O139, and non-O1, along with the cholera toxin gene ctx, using a single molecular assay. Results guide outbreak tracking and treatment decisions.

2. How should I prepare for sample collection?

No special preparation is needed. Collect a fresh stool sample or a water sample in the provided sterile container. Ensure the container is sealed and placed in the biohazard bag provided. Sign the consent form upon courier pickup.

3. Is home sample collection available in Dubai?

Yes, our ISO-certified cold-chain courier service collects stool and water samples from your home across all Emirates daily from 8 AM to 11 PM. Contact our team to schedule a pickup.

4. How long does it take to get results?

Results are available within 24 hours via phone or 36 hours via email. Urgent results can be expedited upon request.
