The Giardia Antigen Detection, Stool test is a laboratory test used to identify infection caused by the parasite Giardia lamblia. This parasite infects the small intestine and leads to a condition known as giardiasis, which commonly spreads through contaminated food or water. The test works by detecting specific antigens (proteins) released by the parasite in a stool sample. It is more sensitive and reliable than routine microscopic examination, making it useful for early and accurate diagnosis. This test is recommended for individuals experiencing symptoms such as watery diarrhea, abdominal cramps, bloating, nausea, fatigue, and unexplained weight loss. It is especially important in cases of persistent gastrointestinal symptoms or suspected waterborne infections. A fresh stool sample is collected in a clean container and analyzed in the laboratory. No fasting is required for this test. Proper sample collection ensures accurate results and helps in timely diagnosis and treatment of the infection.
