In the past, our knowledge of the epidemiology of infective diarrhoea in routine clinical practice, was incomplete because the traditional methods of microscopy and culture are insensitive and detect only a limited range of pathogens. The introduction of a more sensitive and more comprehensive molecular panel enhances our understanding of the background epidemiology in our patient population. Here we present laboratory based data for all GIT molecular panels requested for patients at Pathcare laboratories since June 2022.
