Question
What can be detected in a detailed stool test for a child with diarrhea?
Answer
A routine stool test can detect the presence of worm eggs in the stool, bacterial and viral infections, fat globules (a sign of indigestion), intestinal flora imbalance, positive occult blood (indicating intestinal mucosal congestion and edema), and can also detect intestinal virus infections such as rotavirus and adenovirus. Maintaining a good mood helps in the recovery from the disease.
