Test Details:
The Campylobacter antigen stool test is a laboratory test used to detect the presence of Campylobacter bacteria in a stool sample. Campylobacter is a common cause of bacterial gastroenteritis, with symptoms including diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, and nausea.
The test works by detecting specific antigens or proteins produced by Campylobacter bacteria in the stool sample. A positive test result indicates the presence of Campylobacter bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.
The Campylobacter antigen stool test is typically performed when a person presents with symptoms of gastroenteritis and there is a suspicion of Campylobacter infection. It can help guide appropriate treatment and management of the infection.
The test is usually done by collecting a small sample of stool and sending it to a laboratory for analysis. The sample is processed and tested for the presence of Campylobacter antigens using various techniques, such as enzyme immunoassay or polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
It is important to note that the Campylobacter antigen stool test is not 100% accurate and false-negative or false-positive results can occur. Therefore, clinical correlation with symptoms and other diagnostic tests may be necessary for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
