Method: Shotgun metagenomic sequencing (CLIA 21D2062464); not cleared or approved by the FDA. Results reflect relative microbial abundance for wellness education purposes. Not intended to diagnose or treat disease and not a substitute for clinical consultation. Microbial associations are based on emerging scientific research and may change over time.
A derived biomarker is a value that is calculated from other directly measured biomarkers rather than being measured directly in the lab.
Key benefits of Entamoeba histolytica testing
- Amoebic dysentery pathogen monitoring
- contaminated water and travel-associated infection detection
What is Entamoeba histolytica?
Entamoeba histolytica is a protozoan parasite that causes amoebic dysentery and, in some cases, invasive amebiasis affecting the liver and other organs. It is transmitted through contaminated water and food. Detected by shotgun metagenomic sequencing.
Why is Entamoeba histolytica important?
E. histolytica is responsible for approximately 55,000 deaths annually worldwide (per WHO estimates). Asymptomatic cyst carriage is possible. Detection in stool testing is a clinically significant finding that warrants evaluation by a care team.
What insights will I get?
Any detection is clinically significant, even without symptoms. Discuss your results promptly with your personal clinician. The Superpower care team is available on demand to help you understand your results and prepare questions for your clinician.
