Tails from the Laboratory: Clinical Cases in Which the Fecal Diagnostics Surprised

Many patients are presented with nonspecific clinical signs, and even a thorough history and skilled physical examination often do not provide a diagnosis. Performing laboratory work and obtaining objective data from our patients can allow for more accurate clinical diagnoses and more focused and appropriate treatments. Regrettably, fecal testing is often overlooked, as the insensitivity of traditional fecal flotation is routinely of low yield and thus unrewarding. In this session, interesting cases that have been selected to highlight the important discoveries as a result of more sensitive and comprehensive molecular testing for GI parasites will be shared.
