Gastrointestinal infections pose a significant global health threat. GI infections are the fourth leading cause of death worldwide in children under 5 years of age. The diagnosis of gastrointestinal infections poses a variety of challenges for laboratories, particularly in terms of time and resource efficiency.

Challenges in GI diagnostics

  • Wide range of pathogens
  • Mandatory reporting, time critical analyses
  • Wide rang of laboratory methods
  • Workload for laboratory staff
  • Same symptoms – different pathogens
  • Multiple testing of a patient sample
