    What is Stool Hanging Drop Test?

    The Stool Hanging Drop test is a laboratory procedure used to detect harmful microorganisms in stool (poop) that can cause gastrointestinal conditions like diarrhoea, dysentery, and gastroenteritis.

    Gastrointestinal issues can be caused by microorganisms like protozoa or bacteria. The test helps in identifying these microorganisms and guides correct treatment decisions. It is a simple and effective test that allows for the detection of bacteria that may not be visible in regular stool samples. The microorganisms identified on this test include protozoa like Giardia lamblia and Entamoeba histolytica and bacteria like Staphylococcus aureus, Clostridium perfringens, Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Shigella, and Campylobacter jejuni.

    Stool Hanging Drop Test Parameters

    The Stool Hanging Drop test focuses on assessing one key parameter: the motility of microorganisms in a stool sample, that is, whether bacteria or other microorganisms in the stool can move, which is often due to the presence of flagella, specialised structures that enable them to move.

    The test is done by placing a small amount of stool on a slide with a drop of water, and the slide is then flipped so the drop hangs beneath the cover. The slide is then examined under a microscope to see if the microorganisms in the stool are moving. 3 Bacterial movement helps identify them, as they show patterns like sluggish, darting, tumbling, or falling leaf, depending on the type.

    Stool Hanging Drop Test Preparation

    To prepare yourself for the Stool Hanging Drop test at home, here are a few things you should know:

    • Prerequisites

    No specific prerequisites such as fasting are required for the Stool Hanging Drop test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested

    The Stool Hanging Drop test can be taken at any time during the day. It is usually conducted when there is a need to assess past exposure to the virus.

    • Who Should Get a Stool Hanging Drop Test?

    The Stool Hanging Drop test is recommended for individuals experiencing gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhoea, stomach cramps, nausea, or vomiting, or those suspected of having bacterial or parasitic infections.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Stool Hanging Drop Test

    Inform your doctor if you have had recent exposure to infection, are currently pregnant, or have any underlying health conditions that may affect the results of the test.

    Why Take the Stool Hanging Drop Test?

    The Stool Hanging Drop test is a crucial diagnostic tool used to detect harmful microorganisms responsible for causing gastrointestinal issues, such as diarrhoea. Here is why you should take this test:

    • Identify the cause of symptoms : If you are experiencing digestive issues like loose, watery stools, stomach cramps, nausea, or vomiting, the stool test helps identify whether they are caused by an infection.

    • Detect additional signs of illness : Some gastrointestinal infections may present with more severe or different symptoms, such as bloody stools, fever, chills, and dehydration. The Stool Hanging Drop test helps in detecting the bacteria causing these infections.

    • Monitor infections : Bacterial infections caused by harmful agents like Escherichia coli , Salmonella , and Shigella , among others, can result in diarrhoea or dysentery. The test aids in identifying these microorganisms, helping to monitor the infection.

    • Ensure proper treatment : Once the bacteria or pathogens are identified, your doctor can suggest the best course of treatment, which could include antibiotics or other appropriate medications.

    The Stool Hanging Drop test is essential for understanding the cause of your digestive issues, allowing you to receive the correct treatment.
