Fecal Dx antigeen test
Interpretatie van de testresultaten van de en de volgende stappen
Gezondheidsscreening
Ongeacht of de uitslag positief of negatief is: dit algoritme helpt u bij de volgende stappen op basis van de uitslagen van de Fecal Dx antigeen test van uw patiënt.
Testaanbevelingen
Testaanbevelingen variëren op basis van de duur en de ernst van de diarree en de gezondheid en voedingsgewoonten van het zieke huisdier.
De uitslagen voor 'gezonde' honden en katten interpreteren
Het volgende algoritme kan u helpen bij de volgende stappen als u de uitslagen van de Fecal Dx antigeen test van uw patiënt bekijkt.
What to do next?
Convey
Retest
Antigen-positive results
Explore compound efficacy, whether treatment frequency is adequate and anthelmintic resistance as a possible cause; initially retreat.
Review risk factors, and discuss compliance, whether the owner remembers treatments and can administer them effectively.
Retest within 2 weeks by antigen testing.
Discuss the current preventative program and reinforce compliance by emphasizing the current success of the program.
Evaluate current risk factors for exposure and zoonotic risk, and reinforce year-round protection.
Evaluate current risk factors for exposure and zoonotic risk, and reinforce year-round protection.
ESCCAP recommendations: Faecal examinations at least 1–2 times per year.
Administer year-round, broad-spectrum parasite control with efficacy against heartworm, intestinal parasites, fleas and ticks
Antigen-negative results
Algoritme voor ontlastingsonderzoek bij zieke honden en katten
Gebruik het volgende algoritme om infectieziekten uit te sluiten door onderscheid te maken tussen acute ongecompliceerde (milde) en acute ernstige/chronische diarree en die te testen.
Negative
Positive
If poor response to therapy, evaluate for coinfections
Hemorrhagic Diarrhoea RealPCR Panel with Faecal Dx Antigen Profile
Non-bloody diarrhoea
Bloody diarrhoea
If negative or if diarrhoea persists despite targeted therapy, evaluate for primary or concurrent noninfectious causes. Consider:
• Dietary trials (high fibre or novel protein/hypoallergenic)
• Cobalamin (vitamin B12), folate, TLI, Spec cPL Test, cortisol
• Microbiota Dysbiosis Index
• Abdominal ultrasound
• Endoscopic or surgical intestinal biopsies

History, clinical signs, physical examination
• Collect faecal samples prior to treatment.
• Obtain minimum database (full blood count [FBC], chemistry panel with IDEXX SDMA Test, and complete urinalysis) as appropriate.
• Begin supportive therapy as indicated while waiting for diagnostic results.
