Gastrointestinal Infections Portfolio
Targeted molecular stool testing that decreases turnaround time, increases accuracy and aids in patient management
- Overview
It can be difficult to differentiate the cause of gastrointestinal illness. Targeted testing allows clinicians to accurately decide which tests are needed according to the patient’s clinical presentation and history.
The BD MAX™ Enteric Panels provide rapid and improved detection (vs traditional methods) of bacterial, viral and parasite pathogens causing ≥ 95% of infectious diarrhoea. The comprehensive menu of enteric panels significantly reduces time, materials and labour on the stool bench within the Microbiology laboratory.
More timely and accurate results enable:
- Optimal patient management and faster results reporting to inform clinical decisions
- Improved clinical interventions, i.e. optimal antimicrobial usage and ability to bring in infection control measures earlier to prevent infection spread
HOW TARGETED TESTING CAN HELP YOU WITH GI DIAGNOSTIC CHALLENGES AND PATIENT MANAGEMENT
Infectious diarrhoea affects billions of people globally each year
~1.7 billion cases of infectious gastroenteritis diarrhoea each year1
Infectious diarrhoea is the 2nd leading cause of the death in children under 5 years of age1
Norovirus resulted in a total of $4.2 billion in direct health system costs2
The limitations of traditional methods (including culture, microscopy and immunoassay) include:
Delayed results3
Difficulty growing certain organisms on culture media4
False negative results due to subjective interpretation of microscopy5
Poor sensitivity and limited detection of targets with immunoassays6
Determining a specific clinical diagnosis can benefit a patient with infectious diarrhea by:
Directing appropriate therapy
Allowing the judicious use of antimicrobial agents
Improving patient satisfaction and life planning
