Clinical and coprological assessment in symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects with infection with Blastocystis spp
To evaluate morphological, clinical and laboratory aspects in symptomatic and asymptomatic subjects with Blastocystis spp. 250 faecal samples were analyzed from individuals of the University Hospital “Antonio Patricio de Alcalá”, Cumaná, Sucre state, with prior informed consent. Each fecal specimen...
