Balantidiasis – Disease diagnosis
The diagnosis of balantidiasis can be an intricate process, partly because the related symptoms may or may not be present. However, the diagnosis of balantidiasis can be considered when a patient has diarrhea combined with a probable history of current exposure to amebiasis through travel, contact with infected persons, or anal intercourse. In addition, the diagnosis of balantidiasis can be made by microscopic examination of stool or tissue samples.
Balantidiasis – Prevention
Preventative measures require effective personal and community hygiene. Some specific safeguards include the following:
- Purification of drinking water.
- Proper handling of food.
- Careful disposal of human feces.
- Monitoring the contacts of balantidiasis patients.
