The Cyclospora & Cryptosporidium Stool Test screens for two common intestinal parasites that can cause diarrhea and other gastrointestinal symptoms. This comprehensive stool test includes Cryptosporidium Direct Detection (EIA) and a Cyclospora Stool Smear, providing accurate detection of these parasites to help identify the cause of persistent or severe digestive illness. This test is especially useful for individuals experiencing prolonged diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, or symptoms following travel or consumption of contaminated food or water. For optimal detection, diarrheal stool specimens are recommended.
