Ranges

Each lab publishes a reference range for the population groups it tests, usually the middle 95% of results. These intervals describe that population, not an optimal or healthy target. How ranges differ

Single-analyte tests

  • Cryptosporidium , Direct Detection EIA 183020

    Stool · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 3 - 5 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    Enzyme immunoassay (EIA)
    Collection
    Fecal specimens for parasitic examination should be collected before initiation of antidiarrheal therapy or antiparasitic therapy. The highest yield on hospitalized patients occurs when diarrhea is present on admission or within 72 hours of admission. The onset of diarrhea more than 72 hours after admission is usually caused by Clostridium difficile toxin rather than parasites or the usual stool pathogens. The following recommendations are made for efficient and cost-effective diagnosis of diarrheal disease in patients admitted with gastroenteritis. • Submit one or two specimens per diarrheal illness immediately. Consider first requesting EIAs for Giardia and Cryptosporidium (See test Giardia lamblia, Direct Detection EIA [182204] or Giardia lamblia, Direct Detection EIA and Cryptosporidium, Direct Detection EIA [183558] ). Giardia and Cryptosporidium are the most common causes of parasitic gastroenteritis in the United States. • If EIAs are negative, request add-on testing for Ova and Parasites Examination [008623] , and submit an additional specimen after five days for O&P examination. • Also consider testing for unusual stool pathogens ( Cyclospora Smear, Stool [183145] ), especially in the immunocompromised patient.

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
