Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does Stool Test Of A Toddler Showing Presence Of Mucus, Pus And Fat Globules Suggest?
MY 2 YEAR SON S STOOL TEST REPORT SHOWS:- MACUS:- PRESENT PUS:- 0-1 FAT GLOBULES:- PRESENT STARCH:- PRESENT VEGETABLE:- PRESENT UNDIGESTED FOOD:- PRESENT HE HAD A DEHYDRATION 3 DAYS BACK AND WE PERFORMED STOOL TEST TODAY. PLEASE INFORM WHAT DOES THE REPORT MEANS.
Lab tests should be analyzed with clinical correlation. In purview of this it will be helpful if you could give a brief history of presenting illness and the reason for getting the test done - such as constitutional symptoms. From what you've mentioned it can be extrapolated that the child has/had acute diarrhea with dehydration. Now there is presence of carbohydrates in stools suggesting an inborn error of metabolism due to intestinal enzyme defect. Please take your son to a pediatrician for further evaluation and effective management.
