About Ova and Parasite Urine Test in Laredo
Parasitic infections can involve the urinary tract, and a urine specimen can sometimes reveal organisms or their products that would not be detected in a stool sample.
The test involves microscopic examination of a urine specimen for ova, which are parasitic eggs, as well as for intact parasites, cysts, or trophozoites. Depending on the laboratory's protocol, the specimen may also be evaluated for cellular elements such as red blood cells, white blood cells, or eosinophils that can accompany a parasitic infection of the urinary tract.
Collection is typically a clean-catch midstream urine sample, meaning the first portion of the stream is voided and discarded, and the middle portion is collected in a sterile container. The specimen should be delivered to the laboratory promptly, because delays can allow organisms to degrade and reduce the likelihood of detection.
Results are generally reported within a few business days. A negative result does not always rule out infection, since parasite shedding can be intermittent; a positive result identifies the organism or its structures but may require additional testing to confirm the species and guide treatment.
