Diagnostic approach
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
?The cornerstone for the diagnosis is a thorough history of the patient's illness
?Physicians must counsel their patients to ensure that specimens are collected
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
properly and arrive at the laboratory promptly?Laboratory personnel and surgical pathologists should be notified in advance
when a parasitic infection is suspected
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
?The laboratory procedures for detection of parasites in other body fluids are
similar to those used in the examination of feces
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
?Stool collection kit with instructions for patients to transfer portions of thesample directly into bacterial carrier medium and fixative
? Refrigeration will preserve trophozoites for a few hours and cysts and ova for
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
several days
?Contamination with water (which could contain free-living protozoa) or with
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
urine (which can damage trophozoites) should be avoided?Microscopic examination of feces is not complete until direct wet mounts
(physiologic saline and dilute iodine solution), concentration techniques (formalin
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
-ether sedimentation and zinc sulfate flotation), and permanent stains have been
applied
