DOI: 10.2807/1560-7917.es.2019.24.29.1800546
Abstract: Background Despite the global distribution of the intestinal protozoan Dientamoeba fragilis, its clinical picture remains unclear. This results from underdiagnosis: microscopic screening methods either lack sensitivity (wet preparation) or fail to reveal Dientamoeba (formalin-fixed sample).… read more here.
