| ===Stool Cultures===
| |
| [[Stool culture]]s in adequate [[culture media]], allow the correct identification of the [[pathogen]] responsible for the [[infectious diarrhea]]. The identification of the organism allow specific treatment of the disease, as well as appropriate follow-up recommendations.<ref name="pmid11170940">{{cite journal| author=Guerrant RL, Van Gilder T, Steiner TS, Thielman NM, Slutsker L, Tauxe RV et al.| title=Practice guidelines for the management of infectious diarrhea. | journal=Clin Infect Dis | year= 2001 | volume= 32 | issue= 3 | pages= 331-51 | pmid=11170940 | doi=10.1086/318514 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=11170940 }} </ref>

| ====Lactoferrin Testing====
| |
| Some studies advocate the importance to test for [[fecal]] [[lactoferrin]]. This test is considered more sensitive than simple microscopic examination of [[PMN]]. However, its cost and high rate of [[false-positive]]s in breast-fed children, limit its application.<ref name="pmid11170940">{{cite journal| author=Guerrant RL, Van Gilder T, Steiner TS, Thielman NM, Slutsker L, Tauxe RV et al.| title=Practice guidelines for the management of infectious diarrhea. | journal=Clin Infect Dis | year= 2001 | volume= 32 | issue= 3 | pages= 331-51 | pmid=11170940 | doi=10.1086/318514 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=11170940 }} </ref><ref name="pmid8953074">{{cite journal| author=Hines J, Nachamkin I| title=Effective use of the clinical microbiology laboratory for diagnosing diarrheal diseases. | journal=Clin Infect Dis | year= 1996 | volume= 23 | issue= 6 | pages= 1292-301 | pmid=8953074 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=8953074 }} </ref><ref name="pmid8815110">{{cite journal| author=Choi SW, Park CH, Silva TM, Zaenker EI, Guerrant RL| title=To culture or not to culture: fecal lactoferrin screening for inflammatory bacterial diarrhea. | journal=J Clin Microbiol | year= 1996 | volume= 34 | issue= 4 | pages= 928-32 | pmid=8815110 | doi= | pmc=PMC228919 | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=8815110 }} </ref><ref name="pmid7993149">{{cite journal| author=Miller JR, Barrett LJ, Kotloff K, Guerrant RL| title=A rapid test for infectious and inflammatory enteritis. | journal=Arch Intern Med | year= 1994 | volume= 154 | issue= 23 | pages= 2660-4 | pmid=7993149 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=7993149 }} </ref>

| ===Colonoscopy===
| |
| For some cases of [[bloody diarrhea]] of unknown origin, a [[colonoscopy]] is indicated. It contributes to the [[diagnosis]] by confirming or ruling out conditions such as [[ulcerative colitis]] or [[malignancy]].<ref name="pmid11170940">{{cite journal| author=Guerrant RL, Van Gilder T, Steiner TS, Thielman NM, Slutsker L, Tauxe RV et al.| title=Practice guidelines for the management of infectious diarrhea. | journal=Clin Infect Dis | year= 2001 | volume= 32 | issue= 3 | pages= 331-51 | pmid=11170940 | doi=10.1086/318514 | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=11170940 }} </ref>
