The Entero-Test Capsule technique involves the collection of duodenal contents to examine the presence of which of the following parasites?
a. T. gondii
b. Giardia duodenalis
c. Entamoeba histolytica
d. Trichinella spiralis
B
The Entero-Test is a duodenal capsule technique that is a simple and convenient method for the collection of duodenal contents, eliminating the need for intestinal intubation. The technique in-volves using a length of nylon cord coiled inside a gelatin capsule. The cord protrudes through one end of the capsule and is taped to the side of the patient's face. The capsule is then swal-lowed. The gelatin dissolves in the stomach, and the weighted cord is carried by peristalsis into the duodenum. The cord is attached to the weight by a slipping mechanism; the weight is re-leased and passes out in the stool when the cord is retrieved after 4 hours. The mucus collected on the cord is then examined for the presence of parasites, including S. stercoralis, G. duodenalis, Cryptosporidium spp., Microsporidia, and the eggs of C. sinensis.
