Year: 2025

Type: book-review

Abstract: Objective: spp. in immunosuppressed patients who were admitted with diarrhea by microscopic, serological, and molecular methods and to evaluate the results in comparison with the direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) method. Methods: spp. samples examined with the DFA method were selected randomly, including samples found positive in other diagnostic tests. Stool samples that were positive in any of these diagnostic tests were evaluated by immunochromatographic card test. Results: spp. was detected positive by the immunochromatographic card test. Conclusion: spp., the modified acid-fast method can be used in routine diagnosis with high sensitivity and specificity. Besides, it immunochromatographic diagnostic tests thought to be useful in laboratories with intensive workflow due to their practical use and rapid results.
