Overview
Other Diagnostic Studies
Stool Cultures
Stool cultures in adequate culture media, allow the correct identification of the pathogen responsible for the infectious diarrhea.
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.[1]
