The Clostridium Difficile Detection PCR Test is a highly sensitive and specific molecular diagnostic tool used to identify the presence of Clostridium difficile (C. difficile) bacteria, which is a common cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea and more severe intestinal conditions like colitis. This test employs Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) technology to amplify and detect the DNA of the toxin-producing strains of C. difficile, providing rapid and accurate results that are crucial for the timely treatment and management of infections.

At DNA Labs UAE, the test is offered for a cost of 1000 AED. The facility is equipped with state-of-the-art technology and staffed by experienced professionals to ensure high-quality testing and reliable results. The test is conducted in a controlled laboratory environment, where a stool sample from the patient is analyzed to detect the presence of C. difficile. Given the accuracy and efficiency of the PCR method, this test is instrumental in preventing the spread of infection, especially in hospital settings, and in guiding appropriate treatment strategies to mitigate the impact of the infection on patients.

CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICILE DETECTION PCR Test

Cost: AED 1000.0

Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Test Details

The CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICILE DETECTION PCR test is a molecular diagnostic test used to detect the presence of the bacterium Clostridium difficile in a patient’s stool sample. Clostridium difficile is a type of bacteria that can cause severe diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms, especially in people who have been on antibiotics or have weakened immune systems.

The PCR (polymerase chain reaction) test works by amplifying and detecting specific DNA sequences that are unique to Clostridium difficile. The test can identify the bacteria even at low levels, providing a highly sensitive and accurate result.

To perform the test, a stool sample of at least 3g (minimum) is collected from the patient and must be placed in a leak-proof screw-capped container. The sample should be shipped refrigerated, but must not be frozen. The report will be delivered on Tuesdays and Saturdays by 11 am for the sample, and the report will be available on Mondays and Thursdays.

Method and Test Type

The CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICILE DETECTION PCR test is conducted using the PCR method, which is a highly accurate and sensitive technique for detecting specific DNA sequences. This test falls under the category of Infections.

Doctor and Test Department

The test can be ordered by a Physician or a Gastroenterologist. It is conducted in the Molecular Diagnostics department of DNA Labs UAE.

Pre Test Information

No special preparation is required for this test.

Importance of the Test

The CLOSTRIDIUM DIFFICILE DETECTION PCR test is a valuable tool in diagnosing Clostridium difficile infection and guiding appropriate treatment. It can help identify the bacteria quickly and accurately, allowing healthcare providers to implement appropriate infection control measures and prescribe targeted antibiotics if necessary.

To perform the test, a stool sample is collected from the patient and sent to a laboratory. In the lab, the DNA is extracted from the sample and then amplified using PCR. If the DNA sequences specific to Clostridium difficile are present, they will be detected and confirmed using specialized equipment.
