Diagnostic Tests
- History of eating raw fish
- Examination of feces for eggs of N. salmincola
- Because only a few eggs are contained within each adult worm, patients with light infections are likely to have negative stool tests. Using trichrome stained preparations rather than formalin-ethyl acetate concentrates was more sensitive to identify cases.

Famous quotes containing the word tests:
“It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past.... Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
—George Steiner (b. 1929)
