DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES Flashcards
ARTIFACTS THAT MAYBE MISTAKEN FOR PARASITE
PLANT CELL
VEGETABLE FIBER
MEAT FIBER
VEGETABLE HAIR\
POLLEN GRAINS
VEGETABLE SPIRALIS
STARCH GRANULES
BUBBLES
IN STOOL EXAMINATION THERE ARE 2 TYPES
QUANTITATIVE TECHNIQUE \
QUALITATIVE TECHNIQUE
IN QUALITATIVE TECHNIQUE THERE ARE 2 TYPES
UNCONCENTRATION TECHNIQUE
CONCENTRATION TECHNIQUE
UNCONCENTRATION TECHNIQUE UNDER
SIMPLE SMEAR
2 TYPES OF CONCENTRATION TECHNIQUE
FLOTATION TECHNIQUE
SEDIMENTATION TECHNIQUE
UNDER OF FLOTATION TECHNIQUE
Brine flotation
Sugar flotation
Zinc- sulfate flotation
UNDER OF SEDIMENTATION TECHNIQUE
Simple sedimentation
Centrifugal sedimentation
Formalin ether concentration technique
are hexogonal bipyramidal structures localized in the primary granules of the cytoplasm of eosinophils and basophils
Charcot Leyden crystal
their presence, along with eosinophilic infiltrate, is an indirect evidence of parasitic infestation, particulary with
Toxocara, capilliriasis, ascariasis or fasciola
are formed from the?
breakdown/ disintegration of eosinophils
and maybe seen in the stool or sputum of patients with
parasitic diseases
indicate inflammation
PMNs
indicate immune response to a parasitic infection
eosinophils
ulcerations or bleeding
red blood cells
phagocytes, active macropahage can be mistaken for amebic trophozoites
macropahages
released with the disintegration of eosinophils , may indicate presence of hypertensitivity or arasitic ingfections, especially amebiasis
Charcot Leyden crystals
Fungal spores from blank, yeast and yeast-like fungi
Candida spp
sodium hydroxide + blank of stool specimen
4g
eggs counted x blank x factor = number of eggs per gram
200
factor will depend on stool consistency
hard (x1)
mushy (x2)
loose (x3)
liquid (x4)
do not use this technique in
liquid stool
used to isolate
schistosoma spp
look for the bkank (first ova larva)
Maracidium
provide the ability to detect small numberd of parasites that might not be dtected using direct wet preparation
concentration techniques
to aggregate parasites present into a small volume of the sample and to remove as much debris
purpose
to aggregate parasites present into a small volume of the sample and to remove as much debris
purpose
protozoan blank do not usually survive the procedure
trophozoites
concentration can separate protozoan cysts and helminth eggs from a larger amount of stool usually what gram in amount? based on differences in specific gravity
1 gram
2 types of concentration methods
sedementation
flotation
