Microscopy of the cysts
- Endolimax nana is diagnosed based on the microscopy of the cysts, involving concentration procedures (usually formalin-based) and different stains before the analysis is initiated. The cysts of Endolimax nana appear gibbous when the fecal concentrate is stained with iodine.

Several protozoan species in the genus Entamoeba colonize humans, but not all of them are associated with disease. Entamoeba histolytica is well recognized as a pathogenic ameba, associated with intestinal and extraintestinal infections. Other morphologically-identical Entamoeba spp., including E. dispar, E. moshkovskii, and E. bangladeshi, are gen...
Cysts and trophozoites are passed in feces . Cysts are typically found in formed stool, whereas trophozoites are typically found in diarrheal stool. Infection with Entamoeba histolytica (and E.dispar) occurs via ingestion of mature cysts from fecally contaminated food, water, or hands. Exposure to infectious cysts and trophozoites in fecal matter d...
Pathogenic Entamoeba species occur worldwide and are frequently recovered from fresh water contaminated with human feces. The majority of amebiasis cases occur in developing countries. In industrialized countries, risk groups include men who have sex with men, travelers, recent immigrants, immunocompromised persons, and institutionalized population...
May 28, 2014 · Microscopy of a permanent stain is the gold standard for the diagnosis of Blastocystis in most clinical laboratories. Microscopy was shown to have the lowest sensitivity for the detection of Blastocystis (48%) with PCR being the most sensitive technique used (94%) .

Feb 9, 2023 · Diagnosis. If you have diarrhea and related symptoms, the cause may be difficult to diagnose. Even if blastocystis is found in your stool, it might not be causing your symptoms. Often another food- or water-borne organism is the likely cause of illness.
Oct 23, 2023 · INTRODUCTION. Several nonpathogenic protozoa inhabit the intestinal tract and may be identified in stool specimens sent to the clinical laboratory for ova and parasite examination [1]. Since these nonpathogenic parasites can be reported by the diagnostic laboratory, it is important to be able to distinguish between organisms that require ...
