Stool microscopy is the practice of taking samples of feces and observing it for the presence of parasites and other foreign matter. Important cystic parasites that can be detected with this process are as follows:
- Entamoeba histolytica- This is a protozoan that can commonly lead to gastrointestinal and extragastrointestinal manifestations. It may remain in the intestines or travel to organs such as the liver or the brain, leading to cystic formations
- Giardia lamblia- This parasite leads to giardiasis, and it is a flagellated organism
- Cyclosporum- This group of microorganisms can commonly be found in their cystic forms in a patient's stool sample
