Introduction
The SavvygenTM GI Parasite Panel test allows the qualitative detection and differentiation of Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia and/or Entamoeba histolytica by Real-Time PCR in human stool specimens. The product is intended for use in the diagnosis of Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia and/or Entamoeba histolytica infections alongside clinical data of the patient and other laboratory test outcomes.
Cryptosporidium, Giardia lamblia and Entamoeba histolytica are the major etiological agents of the enteric protozoa. These are the most commonly encountered parasitic diseases affecting millions of people each year and causing significant morbidity and mortality worldwide.
These three parasites can lead to human infection via fecal–oral transmission of the cysts through contaminated food and water and person-to-person contact. They are common in both developed and developing countries, but with an increased risk in the latter due to poor sanitation standards.
The SavvygenTM GI Parasite Panel test is a ready-to used test, which contains in each well all the necessary reagents for Real-Time PCR assay in a stabilized format. In addition, an internal control allows the detection of a possible reaction inhibition. The GI Parasites panel has the same PCR program as the GI Bacterial panel, therefore can be test in parallel to complete clinical assessment
