A member asked:
Does a positive ferrolactin during gastroenteritis mean it is a bacterial infection or could it also be a viral infection like norovirus or rotavirus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I assume you meant Lactoferrin stool test not Ferrolactin. The presence of Lactoferrin only means there is bowel inflammation regardless of the causative agent, bacteria or virus.
