  • Ova and Parasites, Concentrate and Permanent Smear 681

    2 analytes · Stool · Fasting not stated · Turnaround Set up: Daily; Report available: 4 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    Microscopic Examination of Concentrate • Permanent Stained Smear
    Preparation
    Interfering substances: Bismuth, barium (wait 7-10 days), antimicrobial agents (wait 2 weeks), gallbladder dye (wait 3 weeks after procedure)
    Collection
    Note: Tissue samples should be sent to pathology. Stool: Place fresh stool in a single Total-Fix transport vial or 10% formalin transport vial, as well as PVA transport medium, within 30 minutes of collection. Add stool to bring the liquid level to the "fill to here" line on the vial. Mix well. Send specimen(s) at room temperature in the same shipping container. If parasite infestation is strongly suspected, collect at least 3 stool specimens every other day, since a single specimen can be negative. If Giardia is strongly suspected, please see Giardia Antigen, EIA, Stool, Test Code 8625. Urine: Urine may be submitted unpreserved for exam for Schistosoma. Collect at mid-day. Peak egg secretion occurs between noon and 3 p.m. Do not submit first morning specimen. In patients with hematuria, eggs may be found trapped in blood and mucous in the terminal portion (last-voided portion) of the urine specimen. Trichrome Stain is not performed on non-stool samples. Sputum: The specimen should be a deep expectorated sputum, preferably collected in the early morning. A 24-hour sputum collection is also acceptable. Submit in a sterile screw-cap container, unpreserved or in 10% formalin to increase stability. Trichrome Stain is not performed on non-stool samples.

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.
