Is Amoebic Dysentery Test Effective For Diarrhea?

Hello doctor, I am suffering from severe Diarrohea. Have taken Norflox TZ. Is in control now. But since I very easily get Diarrohea want to know if I should do the amoebic dysentry test. My stool is always soft and sticky and constipated and seems to contain mucuous.

Hello,

Usually, post-antibiotic test results are not that conclusive unless the causative agent is alive in the Gastro intestine tract.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
