Laboratory Diagnosis of Amebiasis: Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar

Details

• Description:
  Basic guidelines: ; A. Multiple stool samples (at least 3) should be tested before a negative result is reported. ; B. To maximize recovery of cysts, stool samples in formalin, or other fixatives, should be concentrated prior to microscopic examination (e.g.,10 min at 500 × g when using the formalin-ethyl- acetate concentration procedure). Exception: Specimens to be used for EIA or rapid cartridge assays should NOT be concentrated because antigens are lost during the procedure! ; C. Choice of diagnostic techniques depends on available equipment and reagents, experience, and considerations of time and cost. ; Publication date from documents properties ; Entamoeba_benchaid.pdf
