A member asked:
Multiplex pcr detected dientamoeba fragilis in stool but it wasn't detected in culture, false detection or is it just difficult to detect with both?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well: It can show up in either or both. It's harder to culture it is easier to get the antibody test to diagnose it. Recommend doctor visit for specific diagnosis and treatment
