Joseph, a 29 years old man, went to a local health clinic with complaints of intermittent diarrhea for a few months and trouble sleeping. A stool specimen was collected and preserved in 10% formalin and PVA. An O&P examination was performed, along with a permanent trichrome stain. The stain revealed the organism shown below that measured 10 μm in diameter, with a large, centrally located vacuole and small red nuclei within the peripheral ring of cytoplasm. 1. What parasite do you suspect, and why? 2. Why do false-negative results sometime occur with this organism? 3. How does the organism reproduce? 4. Describe the controversy surrounding the classification of this organism. 5. Discuss treatment and prevention measures.
