About test
What does STOOL HANGING DROP measure?
This microscopy-based stool test looks for characteristic movement of bacteria, particularly the rapid “darting” motility that may be seen with Vibrio species. It may be used to support the evaluation of suspected bacterial intestinal infection, including possible cholera, when considered alongside symptoms and other laboratory findings.
