The laboratory uses a special concentration method to detect worm eggs and larva as well as cysts of protozoa in a single stool sample; this covers most relevant parasites. Protozoa cysts are very resistant, so that even after the postal transport this is a very reliable detection method. The analysis involves a complicated procedure of concentrating and filtering the stool, which is carried out by specialists. Due to the very hardy nature of worm eggs and protozoa cysts, worms which lay eggs into the intestine and protozoa which forms cysts can be detected in this way. The test can be useful in all cases of persistent diarrhoea or alternating diarrhoea and constipation, attacks of sweating or feeling cold, possibly with fever, colicky pains, hunger attacks which alternate with times of no appetite, persistent cough, weight loss, anal itching, anaemia and symptoms following foreign travel.
