Worms & Helminths Check by i-Screen

Comprehensive worm stool test using advanced PCR technology to maximize detection.

Additional Information

Some gut problems can be a consequence of an undetected worm infection. This is the most comprehensive worm stool test available in Australia and uses advanced PCR technology to maximise detection. PCR-based stool worm tests are particularly useful when other diagnostic methods, such as microscopic examination of stool samples, do not yield definitive results. They can provide a more precise identification of the specific worm species present, aiding in targeted treatment and management of an infection.
