INTRODUCTION ANAMNESIS -Fever CLINICAL FEATURES 1 (Symptom and Sign) -Gastrointestinal symptoms -Fever with respiratory system -Neurological symptoms SPESIFIC ASPESIFIC 2 3 -Fever and meningitis / Encephalitis -Cutaneous symptoms PHYSICAL EXAMINATION LABORATORY EXAMINATION
INTRODUCTION 3 LABORATORY EXAMINATION DEPEND ON : v. Habitat Parasite v. Parasite distribution TYPE OF SPECIMEN : 1. Stool 2. Blood IMPORTANT 3 Urine 4 Sputum 5. Vaginal discharge, urethral discharge 6. Skin scrapings 7. Liquor Cerebro Spinal 8. Tissue biopsy 9. Nasal discharge 10. Corneal scrapings • Very important for examination Helminth parasite and Protozoa parasite • Repeating of Laboratory examination occasionally be needed *Should be understood about examination technique, morphology of parasite and life cycle of parasite 4 IMUNODIAGNOSIS
INTRODUCTION FECAL SPECIMENS Ø Ø Immediatelly have to examine : § Liquid specimens should be examined within 30 minute of passage § Soft (semiformed) specimens 1 hour § Formed specimens 24 hour after passage If this time is not possible, the specimen should be placed in one of the available fixatives : § Ø Formalin 10%, MIF (Merthiolate Iodine Formalin), PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol) Generally Helminthic eggs more endure without preservation than intestinal protozoa
INTRODUCTION FECAL SPECIMENS Ø The specimens should not be contaminated with § Water – because water may contain freeliving organisms that can be mistaken for human parasites § Urine – may destroy motile organisms Ø Prior to examination , fecal specimens should never be incubated or frozen. Ø A chatartic with an oil base should not be used, and a stool softener (taken either orally or as a suppository) is usually inadequate for obtaining a purged specimen.
INTRODUCTION FECAL SPECIMENS Ø Repeating fecal examination after therapy : § Ascariasis, 2 -3 weeks after therapy § Protozoa infection, 3 -4 weeks after therapy § Taeniasis, 5 -6 weeks after therapy
EXAMINATION OF HELMINTH PARASITE SPECIMENS ( most important ) Ø Ø FECAL SPECIMENS BLOOD AND TISSUE SPECIMENS &
EXAMINATION OF HELMINTH PARASITE FECAL SPECIMENS ? Ø Ø For examination of helminth egg Most important for examination intestinal nematode including “Soil Transmitted Helminths” : § Ascaris lumbricoides § Trichuris trichiura § Hook worm : - Necator americanus and Ancylostoma duodenale § Strongyloides stercoralis
