Do you know that you could be carrying a dangerous intestinal infection?

Yes, you may be an asymptomatic carrier of a dangerous disease that can be especially dangerous to children's health.

Tests:

• Stool culture for pathogenic microflora with antibiotic sensitivity determination
• Stool culture for pathogenic microflora without antibiotic sensitivity determination

Typical manifestations may include nausea, discomfort, heaviness in the stomach, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea/loose bowel movements.

Intestinal infections are dangerous due to two following factors:

• Intoxication
• Damage to the digestive system

These factors are life-threatening because of the development of dehydration and toxemia. Especially in newborn babies.

Do you have no such symptoms?

Unfortunately, some bacteria (causative agents of dysentery and salmonellosis) do not appear in carriers and can be transmitted through food and water.

And they can also appear in the form of symptoms of other diseases."Sterile" course of dysentery resembles gastritis, pancreatitis, irritable bowel syndrome. Periodically there is discomfort and painful sensations in the perineal region, sometimes there are episodes of liquefied stool with impurities, nausea.

How to protect yourself and your family members and friends? 

It is necessary from time to time to undergo examination for carriage of food infections which is called "Stool culture for pathogenic microflora" with a preventive purpose.

This analysis can detect such pathogens as Salmonella, Shigella spp., Yersinia spp. and some E.coli species. The analysis can be performed with or without antibiotic sensitivity determination.

How can you get tested?

Simply bring a stool sample to any CDL OLYMP treatment room. 

What does the result mean?

If you have isolated pathogenic microorganisms, you should immediately contact your physician for antibiotic therapy.
