Accepted Answer

E. histolytica infection can cause unpleasant symptoms.

*Interpretation of Stool Test Results*

- *Cysts of E. histolytica*: The presence of cysts indicates an E. histolytica infection, which can cause amoebiasis.
- *Mucous discharge during stool passage*: This symptom is consistent with an E. histolytica infection, which can cause intestinal inflammation and mucous production.

*Chronic vs. Acute Infection*

- *Chronic infection*: If you've been experiencing symptoms for an extended period (weeks or months), it could indicate a chronic infection.
- *Acute infection*: If symptoms are recent (days or weeks), it might be an acute infection.

*Treatment Options*

- *Metronidazole*: This antibiotic is commonly used to treat E. histolytica infections.
- *Paromomycin*: This antibiotic can be used to treat asymptomatic carriers or to complete treatment after metronidazole.
- *Diloxanide furoate*: This medication can be used to treat asymptomatic carriers or mild intestinal infections.

*Next Steps*

1. *Consult a doctor*: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician or a gastroenterologist to discuss your test results and symptoms.
2. *Complete treatment*: Follow your doctor's recommended treatment plan to ensure you're properly treated.

Question 3

I'm really concerned because I've been diagnosed with DVT in my left leg and my homocysteine level is 60.2. Does the high level of homocysteine directly cause the DVT? What should I be doing to manage this situation?

Accepted Answer

Elevated homocysteine levels can be a risk factor for developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT). To help lower your homocysteine levels and reduce the risk of DVT, you can take folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 supplements. I recommend taking Tab Folvite 5mg once daily, Tab Pyridoxine 50mg once daily, and Tab Nurokind Plus once daily. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
