GetTested Rapid Parasite Test

The GetTested Parasite Test is a convenient rapid test designed to detect Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, and Cryptosporidium in human stool samples. These common parasites are known causes of intestinal infections. Prompt identification of these parasitic infections is crucial for effective treatment. Learn more about these parasites below:



Entamoeba histolytica: A Serious Parasite

Entamoeba histolytica is an anaerobic parasitic amoeba that infects humans and other primates, often leading to amoebiasis. This parasite can range from being asymptomatic to causing severe conditions like amoebic dysentery and liver abscesses.



Giardia lamblia: A Cause of Diarrhoea

Giardia lamblia, a protozoan, frequently causes severe diarrhoea and is particularly problematic for people with weakened immune systems. The parasite can undergo both acute and chronic phases, potentially leading to malabsorption and weight loss. Therefore, accurate diagnosis is key for effective treatment.



Cryptosporidium: A Resilient Parasite

Cryptosporidium, a microscopic parasite, causes the diarrhoeal disease cryptosporidiosis. Its ability to survive for extended periods outside the body and resist common disinfectants makes it especially challenging to control, especially in water systems.



How the Test Works and Usage

The Parasite Test is user-friendly and requires a stool sample for analysis. It utilises specific test cassettes that provide direct results to detect the presence of these parasites. Early detection is essential for effective treatment and preventing further spread.



Materials and Instructions

The test kit includes all necessary equipment such as test cassettes and sampling tubes with extraction buffer. Detailed instructions are provided to guide users through the entire sampling and analysis process. Note that sample containers and a timer are required but not included in the kit.



Choosing the Right Test: Parasite or Other Gut Test?

If you're dealing with gut problems, consider our other gut health tests that analyse gut flora, malabsorption, leaky gut, and more. We offer a range of tests, from targeted to comprehensive. For concerns like Candida, we provide a specific test. Additionally, a separate breath test is available for Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO), measuring bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine.



Beyond Parasites: The Importance of Nutrient Deficiency Testing

When dealing with potential parasite infections, understanding the full scope of your health is important. Parasites can affect your body's ability to absorb nutrients, leading to deficiencies that can exacerbate health issues. This is why, alongside standard parasite testing, considering tests for nutrient deficiencies is highly recommended.
