ABSTRACT. Detection of worm antigen in urine is a sensitive diagnostic method for opisthorchiasis, particularly for light-intensity infections; however, the presence of eggs in feces is essential for validating results from the antigen assay.

Macroscopic and Microscopic Examination of Fecal Specimens
This chapter discusses about macroscopic examination and microscopic examination of fecal specimens. The microscopic examination of the stool specimen, normally called the ova and parasite examination, consists of three separate techniques: the direct wet smear, the concentration (sedimentation and flotation), and the permanent …
