Cysts are a dormant stage of certain parasites, typically protozoa, that are enclosed in a protective outer covering. The identification of cysts in stool samples can provide crucial information about the presence of parasitic infections. Common examples include cysts of parasites like Giardia and Entamoeba. Detection of cysts in the stool can help diagnose and manage infections caused by these parasites, guiding healthcare professionals towards appropriate treatment and preventive measures. Regular screening for cysts in stool is particularly relevant for individuals with symptoms of gastrointestinal distress or significant exposure to contaminated water or food sources.
