Test Overview
This molecular test identifies the RNA of Shigella dysenteriae, the bacterium causing severe bacillary dysentery, using real‑time PCR (qPCR) with optional whole genome sequencing (WGS) confirmation. It provides qualitative detection from whole blood, rectal swabs, food, or environmental water samples, with results available within 24 hours by phone and 36 hours by email—far faster than conventional culture, enabling prompt clinical and public health intervention.
| Feature | Our Shigella dysenteriae RNA PCR Test | Standard Stool Culture & Sensitivity |
|---|---|---|
| Precision / Sensitivity | 99.9% via qPCR + WGS confirmation; minimal false negatives | 70–80%, highly dependent on specimen quality and lab skill |
| Methodology | Real‑Time PCR (qPCR) with whole genome sequencing backup | Culture on selective agar, biochemical identification, serotyping |
| Turnaround Time | Phone: 24 hours; Email: 36 hours (definitive report) | Preliminary: 2–3 days; full serotype: up to 5 days |
| Sample Versatility | Whole blood, rectal swab, food, water—supports outbreak investigations | Stool only |
| Automation & QA | ISO 9001:2015 lab, fully automated extraction and amplification | Manual processing, subjective interpretation |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocol
“As a physician caring for patients with infectious diarrhea, I rely on this molecular test because it clarifies the diagnosis within hours rather than days. However, RNA can persist after viable bacteria are cleared—clinical correlation with symptoms and exposure history is essential. Please, never stop prescribed antibiotics or antidiarrheals based solely on a negative result; always discuss with your doctor first.”
— Dr. PRABHAKAR REDDY, DHA License 61713011
Medication Warning: Do not discontinue any prescribed medication, especially antibiotics, without consulting your treating physician. This test aids diagnosis and must be interpreted in the full clinical context.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Exclusion: Asymptomatic individuals without a clear epidemiological link (not validated for routine screening).
- Exclusion: Patients already on effective antibiotic therapy targeting Shigella—may produce false‑negative RNA results.
- Red Flag: Signs of severe dehydration (no urine output for 8+ hours, sunken eyes, dry mucosa).
- Red Flag: Bloody diarrhea with fever >38.9°C and intense abdominal pain.
- Red Flag: Symptoms of toxic megacolon or septic shock (confusion, rapid heartbeat, cold extremities).
If you experience any red flag symptom, seek emergency medical care immediately. This test does not replace urgent clinical assessment.
Patient Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the turnaround time for Shigella RNA detection PCR, and how does it compare to stool culture?
Results are provided within 24 hours by phone and 36 hours by email, significantly faster than traditional stool culture which requires 3–5 days.
The real‑time PCR method directly amplifies and detects bacterial RNA, enabling same‑day reporting of positive cases. This speed is critical for guiding antimicrobial therapy and implementing infection control measures, especially in nosocomial or community outbreaks.
2. Which sample types are accepted, and how should I prepare for home collection?
We accept whole blood, rectal swab, food, and water samples; simply fast for 4 hours before blood collection and ensure swabs are collected with the provided sterile kit.
Our VIP mobile phlebotomist arrives at your doorstep with ISO‑certified cold‑chain transport. For rectal swabs, a simple self‑collection or assisted collection is performed; detailed instructions are provided. No special dietary restrictions are needed, but please inform the team of any antibiotics taken in the last 7 days.
3. Is this test covered by insurance, and how can I verify directly?
Most major UAE insurers cover this; send a photo of your insurance card via WhatsApp to +971 54 548 8731 for instant verification and billing confirmation.
We interface with DHA and MOHAP‑accredited networks. The direct billing service simplifies the process—once verified, you only need to present your Emirates ID at the time of sample collection. Co‑payments, if any, are clearly communicated upfront.
