Order Ova and Parasite Urine TestThe Ova and Parasite Urine Test is a laboratory examination that inspects a urine specimen for the presence of parasite eggs (ova) or parasite forms. It is a targeted test, distinct from the more familiar stool-based ova and parasite examination, and is used when a urinary tract parasitic infection is suspected.
About Ova and Parasite Urine Test in Albuquerque
This test looks specifically at urine, not stool, which matters because the two specimen types can reveal different organisms.
A urine specimen is examined microscopically for parasite eggs, larvae, or other recognizable parasitic structures. The test is most informative when a parasite is known or suspected to involve the urinary tract, such as Schistosoma haematobium, which sheds eggs into urine.
Because parasites are not uniformly distributed in a specimen, concentration techniques may be applied before microscopy to improve the chance of detection. The laboratory may also note the presence of cells, crystals, or other findings that help interpret the result.
A negative result does not by itself rule out infection, since parasite shedding can be intermittent and low in number. Clinicians interpret the result alongside symptoms, exposure history, and any other testing that has been performed.
