Clinical Significance
The Gastrointestinal Panel is a multiplexed nucleic acid
test intended for the simultaneous qualitative detection
and identification of multiple viral, parasitic, and
bacterial nucleic acids in human stool specimens from
individuals with signs and symptoms of infectious colitis
or gastroenteritis.
The detection and identification of specific
gastrointestinal microbial nucleic acid from individuals
exhibiting signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal
infection aids in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal
infection when used in conjunction with clinical
evaluation, laboratory findings, and epidemiological
information. A gastrointestinal microorganism multiplex
nucleic
acid-based assay also aids in the detection and
identification of acute gastroenteritis in the context of
outbreaks.
