The Identification Of Dientamoeba Fragilis By Iron Haematoxylin Stain And Comparison With Wet Mount

Abstract

Dientamoeba fragilis is a common intestinal parasite that can cause gastrointestinal symptoms in infected individuals. In this study, the identification of D. fragilis using the iron haematoxylin stain was compared with the traditional wet mount method. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of the iron haematoxylin stain in detecting D. fragilis and to evaluate its superiority over the wet mount technique.
