egg count

The egg count method is an auxiliary test method for detecting parasites. The egg count is used to estimate the degree of infection of the parasite in the human body. The Stoll method is commonly used, that is, the diffic egg counting method. This phase check can be used to determine the corresponding symptoms. Inspection requirements: Fecal examination is a common pathogen detection method for the diagnosis of parasitic diseases. To get accurate results, the stool must be fresh and the inspection time should not exceed 24 hours. If you check the protozoa trophozoites in the intestines, it is best to check them immediately, or temporarily store them at 35 °C ~ 37 °C. Containers containing feces must be clean, dry, and prevent contamination; feces should not be mixed with urine and other body fluids, so as not to affect the results of the inspection. Basic Information Specialist classification: Digestive examination classification: feces / parasitic examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Normal value: no Above normal: negative: A negative test value indicates that there should be no parasitic infection. Positive: A positive test result indicates a parasitic infection. Tips: Do not take anti-parasitic drugs before inspection, so as not to affect the results. Normal value No parasite eggs were found during the examination and were negative. Clinical significance Abnormal results detected parasite eggs. People who need to be examined have abnormal gastrointestinal tracts. Positive results may be diseases: tsutsugamushi disease, appendicitis parasitic matters needing attention Contraindications before the test: Do not take anti-parasitic drugs before the test, so as not to affect the results.

Containers containing feces must be clean, dry, and prevent contamination; feces should not be mixed with urine and other body fluids, so as not to affect the results of the inspection. Inspection process A special Erlenmeyer flask (or a conventional conical flask) has a capacity of about 65 ml and has two scales at the neck of the flask corresponding to 56 and 60 ml. First, put 0.1ml/L NaOH solution into the bottle to 56ml, then slowly add the feces, until the liquid level rises to 60ml, then put more than 10 glass beads, tighten the bottle with rubber stopper, shake it fully. Make it a very homogeneous suspension. Shake well when counting. Use a small pipette with a graduated pipette to draw 0.075 or 0.15 ml of manure on a glass slide, cover the piece, and count the number of eggs in the whole piece under a low magnification microscope. Multiply by 200 (0.075 ml) or 100 (inhalation of 0.15 ml) gives the number of eggs per gram of feces. Since the traits of the feces significantly affect the estimation results, the number of eggs in the unformed feces should be multiplied by the fecal trait coefficient, ie semi-formed feces × 1.5, soft wet feces × 2, porridge-like feces × 3, watery feces × 4. Not suitable for the crowd The test is non-invasive and generally has no contraindications. Adverse reactions and risks The test is non-invasive and does not present serious complications or hazards.
