Parasites and Their Eggs

Parasites and their eggs are representatives of helminths and protozoa, as well as their ova, which can be detected during microscopic examination of stool sediment.

• Detection of parasites or their eggs indicates the presence of intestinal parasitic infection (helminthiasis, giardiasis, amoebiasis, etc.).
• Parasites can cause various symptoms, including abdominal pain, diarrhea, anemia, allergic reactions, and general weakness.
• Microscopy can identify eggs of pinworms, roundworms, giardia, toxocara, and other parasites, aiding precise diagnosis.
• Additional diagnostic methods such as serological tests or PCR may be required to confirm and specify the diagnosis.
• Early detection of parasites is important for timely treatment and prevention of complications.

Detection of parasites in stool requires consultation with an infectious disease specialist or gastroenterologist and appropriate antiparasitic therapy prescription.
