Value of stool examination in patients with diarrhoea BARBARA J STOLL, ROGER I GLASS, HASINA BANU, M IMDADUL HUQ M U KHAN, MAFIZUDDIN AHMED
Abstract Findings of stool examinations in 1593 patients with diarrhoea due to a single enteric pathogen-enterotoxigenic Escherichia coll rotavirus, Shigella, Campylobacter jejuni, Vibrio cholerae 0:1, Entamoeba histolytica, or Giardia lamblia-were reviewed to determine how well they predicted the agent associated with the diarrhoea. Specimens were examined visually for blood and. mucus, tested for pH, and examined under a microscope for the presence of red and white blood cells, parasites, and stool fat. Although visible blood was more common in specimens from patients infected with Shigella (51%) and Ent histolytica (39%) than in those from patients infected with other agents (6%; p < 0-01), patients infected with Shigella were most likely to have numerous faecal leucocytes (> 50/high power field: 39% v 8% of all patients and 7% of patients infected with Ent histolytica, p 10/high power field) than patients with other agents (48 % and 39 % respectively v 12% of all patients, p 10/high power field) than patients infected with other agents (83% and 68% respectively v 48% of all patients, p50
