What is Giardia Antigen Test

Giardia Antigen Test is a laboratory test that helps to diagnose the presence of Giardia lamblia parasite in the gastrointestinal tract of an individual. The test is performed using a stool sample collected from the patient which is then analyzed for the presence of Giardia antigens.

The test is highly accurate and can provide results within a few hours.
