Who Would Benefit from Testing Hafnia in Stool?

Individuals with gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, or bloating may benefit from Hafnia testing. It’s also relevant for people with chronic digestive conditions, those on long-term antibiotics, or anyone concerned about their intestinal health.

Symptoms of Imbalanced Hafnia Levels in Stool?

  • Gastrointestinal Symptoms: Diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, gas.
  • Possible Infection Signs: Fever, nausea, sometimes vomiting.

What are the reasons for Elevated Hafnia levels?

Elevated levels of Hafnia species can occur in people with diarrhea and can cause illness in people with weakened immune systems.

Is Hafnia in stool a concern for specific population groups

Hafnia in stool can be a particular concern for children and the elderly. In children, their developing immune systems make them more susceptible to infections from gut bacteria imbalances. Symptoms might include diarrhea and abdominal pain. In the elderly, weakened immunity and the impact of medications like antibiotics can disrupt normal gut flora, potentially leading to complications from bacteria like Hafnia.
