Sequential Drain Method

The Sequential Drain method is a method for diagnosing fasciliosis, which is based on the isolation of fascilla eggs from the patient’s feces. This method is used to detect Fascella eggs in the patient's feces and allows for the diagnosis of Fascella.

To carry out the Sequential Drain method, you must complete the following steps:

  1. Collect a fecal sample from the patient and place it in a collection container.
  2. Add a small amount of water to the fecal sample and mix thoroughly.
  3. Leave the mixture to settle for 5 minutes.
  4. After settling, drain the liquid from the container.
  5. Repeat steps 2-4 3-4 more times.
  6. Conduct microscopy of the sediment remaining after each settling to identify Fascela eggs.

If fascilla eggs are found in the sediment, this indicates the presence of fascillosis in the patient. This method is simple and accessible, and can be used to diagnose fascielosis at home.

However, it should be noted that the Sequential Drain method is not an accurate method for diagnosing fascileasis, and its results may be distorted due to improper collection and processing of the fecal sample. Therefore, if you suspect fascilesis, it is better to consult a doctor for more accurate diagnostic methods.



We can say with confidence that worm eggs in human feces are far from uncommon. And if you once saw such eggs in your stool, it means you have encountered a gastrointestinal disease. Among the diverse helminths there is a fairly abundant family of roundworms, representatives of which are capable of infecting not only the inhabitants of rivers, lakes and streams with their clean, cold water, but also people (saprolegniosis, guinea worm and others).

Fascioliasis is a type of filariasis in which the causative agent is a finnose creature (fasciola, or liver fluke) - a large red parasite that actively captures cellular material from its host. Microscopy of diagnostic mucous agents (helminth-ovoscopic examination), according to medical statistics, shows a fairly high percentage of persons infected with parasites. These studies indicate the following values: Stool examination - 22% In the blood - 65% If possible, doctors can rarely diagnose the presence of a helminthic infection using a general blood test. That is why microscopic examination is required. In addition, medical statistics show that pinworms are also often detected (they are a specific parasite of humans with a round, suction-cup-shaped tail end and lay eggs on the host’s body and around the anus; this type of helminth is usually accompanied by itching around the anus). It is not uncommon for schoolchildren to be examined with suspicion of pinworms during annual medical examinations (enterobiasis). The eggs are approximately 344x58 microns in size, mature - 70-80 microns, and contain microspores. In case of helminthiasis, two-mouthed eggs are most often found (2%). However, it should be remembered that the largest part of them are one-mouthed and three-mouthed - these are, respectively, the eggs of small and large eels. These two types of helminth infestations - uncinariasis and hookworm disease - are the most common.

However, the presence of any helminthiasis indicates that life is still simmering in the body; there is not only a small world (microworld) of bacteria and viruses, but also a big world. A world of all kinds of parasites... Are you feeling creepy now too? Nevertheless, humanity was aware of the need for strict medical control in the matter of preventing possible parasites. After all, initially the main way to prevent parasitism was body hygiene, and even more external than internal hygiene. There is no particular point in reminding that a clean body, a clean head, a clean body is the main criterion of health. Also no less important is the choice of clothing, and at the same time accessories, not to mention the period of time and place of residence and work. Prevention of external infection is hygienic.
