Swab Culture Test (CPT 87070):
Swabs are taken for culturing and analysis of bacterial and fungal infections. Sensitivity and resistance results are also included. The swab can be used for culturing stool, skin, or any other body parts or secretions. This test is highly recommended for patients with GI symptoms who have had negative stool tests for parasites, as the symptoms for pathogenic bacteria are very similar to those of parasitic infections. See a new publication by Dr. Omar M. Amin,"The Contribution of Pathogenic Bacteria to GI symptoms in Parasite-free patients" in the Journal of Bacteriology and Parasitology. View another publication re: IBS in the New England Journal of Medicine stating that up to 20% of all IBS cases are due to "gut flora".

Pinworm Test (CPT 87208):
This test is highly recommended for patients experiencing anal itching with negative test results and with no other plausable cause to explain the itching. Pinworms do not normally present themselves in the normal fecal flow as they gravitate to the peri-anal region especially at night. This is the only way to accurately test for pinworm presence.
