substances that preserve the morphology of protozoa and prevent further development of certain helminth eggs and larvae

FixativesTwo

2 concentration of formalin used

5% and 10%

formalin concentration that ideally preserves protozoan cust

5%

formalin concentration that preserves helminth eggs and larvae

10%

3 advantage of the use of formalin

it is easy to prepare, preserves specimen up to several years, it has a long shelf life

disadvantage of formalin

it does not preserve parasite morphology adequately for permanent smears

OSHA formalin handling regulation for laboratory

monitoring of vapor, use of protective clothing, a comprehensive written chemical hygiene plan

is a compromised of a plastic fober that acts as an adhesive for the stool specimen when preparaing slides for staining

polyvinyl alcohol

This is combined with polyvinyl alchol. This contains zinc sulfate, copper sulfate or mercuric chloride as a base

Schausinn solution

This is the parasites detected by using fixatives

Tropozoites and cyst of the protozoa as well as most helminthic eggs

Two vial system

Formalin vial and PVA vial

vial for the concentration technique

formalin vial

vial for the stained slide

PVa vial

used for preparing smears for staining with modifies acid fast stain to detect coccidian oocyts

Sodium Acetate formalin

disadvantage of Sodium Acetate formalin

adhesion property not good

ensure adhesion of the specimen to the slide

Albumin

compound containing copper and zinc sulfate

Polyvinyl Alcohol

do not provide the same quality of preservation for adequate protozoan morphology on permanent stained slide as the mercury based fixatoves

polyvinyl alcohol

This provide better result than copper sulfate reagent

Zinc sulfate

free from formalin and mercury and can be used for concentration technique and oermanent atained smears

Single-vial fixatives

This is the analytical phase of laboratory testing

processing

Parasite present in soft or liquid stools

protozoan trophozoites

Parasite found in fully formed stool

Protozoan cyst

parasite found in liquid or formed stool

Helminth eggs and larvae

Range of stool color

black to green to clay

color of normal stool

brown

stool color that suggest that a person is on a particular medication

purple, red or blue

Gross abnormalities found in stool

adult worm, proglottids, pus and mucus

suggest the presence of amebic ulceration in the large intestine

blood and/or mucus in loose or liquid stool

Usually associated with irritation and bleeding

Bright red blood on stool

3 distinct procedures for microscopic examination of ova and parasite

direct wet preparation, concentrated technique leading to concentrated wet preparation and permanently stained smear

The most important piece of equipment in the parasitology laboratory

microscope

a specially designed ocular piece with a measuring scale

Ocular micrometer

unit for measurement in diagnostic stages of parasites microscopically

micron

is the disk inserted to the eyepiece of the microscope

ocular micrometer

is performed with the use of stage micrometer containing a calibrated scale divided into 0.01 mm

calibration

a slide made by mixing a small portion of unfixed stoolwith saline or iodine and subsequent examinationof result micture in microscope

direct wet preparation or direct wet mount

Direct wet preparation or direct wet mount

detect the presence of motile protozoan trophozoites

provide the ability to detect small number of parasites that might not be detected using direct wet preparation

concentration technique

aggregate parasites present into a small volume of sample and to remove as much debris as possible

concentration technique

Two type of concentration method

sedimentation and floatation

most widely used sedimentation technique

formalyn ethyl acetate sedimentation technique

parasite sink and feces float

formaly ethyl acetate sedimentation

parasite float and feces sink

zinc sulfate flotation technique

defined as a microscope slide that contains a fixed sample that has been allowed to dry and subseuently stained

permanent stained smear

if a permanent stained smear is not performed this parasite will likely be missed

Dientamoeba fragillis

Helminths are best detected on this technique

comcentration technique

2 common used stain for O and P

trichrome and hematoxylin

most widely used permanent stain

Wheatly trichrome

reveals excellent morphology of intestinal protozoa

iron hematoxylin

do not detect oocyst of the coccidian parasite or spores of microsporidia

specialized stain

Simpler method for collecting duodenal material without requiring intubation

enteritest

specimen of choice for the detection of Enterobius vermicularis

cellophane tape prep

most common type of specimen for parasite evaluation

fecal specimen

Blood tube for parasitology

EDTa

contains fixative and stain in one solution

Wrights stain

separate fixative and stain

Giemsa stain

designed to concentrate blood specimen suspected of containing low number of microfilariae

Knott technique

a layer of WBC between plasma and RBC as the result of centrifugation

buffy coat

inoculated the addition of single drop of blood or tissue

Novy-MacNeal- Nicolle

typically collected and tested from patients suspected of being infected of the lung fluke Paragonimus stercoralis

sputum

specimen of choice dor the detection of Schistomas Haematobium eggs

Urine

sample of choice for the detection of E. gingivalisband Trichonomas tenax

mouth scraping

is the technique used for the diagnosis of Chagas disease

Xenodiagnosis

usually considered as an adjunct or supplement to standard lab protocol

Immunologic testing

only commercial molecular twst available for detecrion of T. vaginalis

Nucleic acid test
