Recently, I found some parasitic eggs in a patient's urine sample and the patient is taking immunosuppressive drugs for SLE.
When a microscopic examination of the urine found the parasitic eggs and I think it is schistosome eggs and not Entrobiasis infections but the epidemiological conditions, it is impossible to Schistosome eggs.
I kept the sample in 70% ethanol.
How to confirm further investigation and what are the possible parasitic infection?
The parasite is diagnosed by the detection of Schistosoma eggs in the urine through stool and biopsy materials. The most appropriate method to detect the eggs in the urine is by examining the last part of the urine which passed in the afternoon after being centrifuged
Urinary parasitic infections are: filariasis, trichomoniasis, leishmaniasis, malaria and schistosomiasis.As confirmatory methods we have direct urine examination, use of urine dipstick, urinary cytobacterial examination, and biomarker examination.
