Stool examination has two tests. Routine and microscopy opens at ₹150 on a fresh sample. The rows are colour and consistency, mucus, blood, ova or cysts or parasites, an occult-blood line if it was done on the same test, pus cells and RBCs. The opening sentences are the plain ones: formed brown stool, mucus absent, blood absent, parasites not seen. Pus cells open at 0–2 per high-power field. RBCs open at nil.
The occult-blood row inside routine is optional text. There is also a separate occult-blood test, same opening price, one row, default Negative, method guaiac or immunochemical. Use the separate test when that is all the doctor asked for, so the report is not a full microscopy page with one line filled.
Parasites are typed. The catalogue does not contain a list of ova to tick. If ascaris ova were seen, that is the sentence staff type over “Not seen”.
