Overview
Gastrointestinal infections are infections of the gut or digestive tract that may be lead to a host of abdomen related signs and symptoms. Apart from clinical examination and routine tests, certain other specialised tests may at times be required to identify and diagnose the exact cause of these infections. The Film Array Gastrointestinal panel (GI) is a nested multiplexed nucleic acid test for qualitative detection and identification of multiple GI pathogens (bacteria, viruses and parasites) in vitro. These tests are usually not used as the first line of testing, but may follow other routine tests.
