What Does This Stool Test Result Indicate?
Hi, I m Fitz, 25 Philippines. Just got my fecalysis result and it showed Presence of E.coli cyts: 1-3/hpf, E. coli trophozoites:0-2/hpf. What does that mean? By the way, I decided to take the stool test because I suffered from fever yesterday, and non-stop LBM. Look forward to hear from anyone of you. Thanks alot. Fitz

Dear
Thanks for contacting with your health concern and after reviewing your stool chart you are suffering from Acute Amoebic Dysentery since presence of Trophozoites (vegetative form) of E. histolytica confirms the diagnosis of acute Amoebic dysentery.
1. Replacement of fluid and electrolytes by Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) and in case of severe dehydration the patient should be admitted for intravenous fluid therapy.
2. Take tablet metronidazole 400-800 mg one tablet thrice daily for 5-10 days or
3. Take: old brown rice, green gram, pomegranate,banana,cumin,curd, boiled water,rice gruel.
avoid: black gram,mango,sugarcane products, sour/bitter taste, plain water.
4. In Ayurved I usuallly manage my patient(s) on the line of "Pravahika" and advice: tablet Amoebica, kutjarishta, bilva churan, jatifaladi vati.
