Bacteriological Stool Examinations

Utility of multiple-stool-specimen ova and parasite examinations in a high-prevalence setting.

A retrospective analysis of the results of 2,704 ova and parasite (O & P) examinations performed on stool specimens collected from 1,374 patients between October 1996 and September 1997 was performed to evaluate the utility of performing O & P examinations on multiple, independently collected stool specimens in a high-prevalence setting.

This is a retrospective study of 100 patients hospitalized in between January 2010 and July 2013. The average age was 48 years with a 58% female predominance. Symptomatology was by a bronchial syndrome i...

Fungal Contamntion of Bacteriological

dialysis and non-dialysis group were comparable for age and sex and whether the apparent differences in small numbers of patients was statistically significant. We studied the immediate effect of dialysis and found no significant difference in the peak acid output measured in the same 14 patients before and after dialysis,2 but on reviewing our data we find that the basal acid output was signif...
