Aiding in the diagnosis of schistosomiasis infections involving the urinary tract

Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

Schistosomiasis is an infection caused by several species of trematodes (flukes) in the genus Schistosoma. The adult worms of Schistosoma haematobium inhabit the venus plexus of the bladder and produce eggs that are typically passed in the urine. Peak egg excretion occurs between noon and 3 p.m. Identification of characteristic eggs in urine is diagnostic for infection with this organism.

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Negative

If positive, organism identified

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

A positive result indicates the presence of Schistosoma species ova in urine.

 

A negative result does not rule out the presence of Schistosoma species since ova may be present at levels below the detection limits of this assay, or infection may not involve the urinary tract.

Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

No significant cautionary statements

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

Filter concentration of urine has been shown to increase recovery of Schistosoma haematobium eggs from urine. Ten milliliters of urine is passed through a membrane filter and the filter is examined under the microscope for the characteristic eggs.(Garcia L: Diagnostic Medical Parasitology. 6th ed. ASM Press, 2016)

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.

Monday through Saturday

Report Available
