Prospective evaluation of automated KU F40 fecal analysis versus microscopy for intestinal protozoa and illustrative labor costs
Nature ·
The Brief
- A prospective study evaluated automated KU F40 fecal analysis against microscopy for detecting intestinal protozoa.
- The study also includes illustrative labor cost estimates for the two approaches.
Why it matters
It compares an automated method with conventional microscopy for intestinal protozoa, including labor costs, which bears on how diagnostic laboratories choose their workflows.
