Hi,
RBC are usually absent on routine stool examination. All the other tests are within normal limits. Examination of stool does not reveal, any cysts or trophozoites.
Further serology can be tried. Red cells cannot be attributed to any infection as all other tests are negative. Any abdominal pain, further biopsy can also be tried to confirm any infection.
Hope this helps. Any further query, happy to help you again.
