Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
In order to compare the diagnostic efficacy of microscopy of faecal concentrates and real-time PCR for the detection of intestinal parasites in Danish patients, a total of 889 fresh faecal samples were chosen randomly over a period of 6 months (November 2007-May 2008) among faecal samples submitted for general parasitological examination (n=122), persistent diarrhoea (n=362), travel-associated diarrhoea (n=386), diarrhoea on institution (n=9) and diarrhoea in immunocompromised (n=10) (3).… |
