Which test is the most accurate for finding parasites?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Which parasite?: Complex question. There are numerous techniques for examining body fluids and tissues for parasites, but which are employed depends upon the condition being looked for. If this is a colonic parasite, many can be detected by stool examination micro or macroscopically, or for some there are antibody or pcr antigen detection methodologies. See an infectious disease expert and get evaluated.
