About Ova and Parasite Urine Test in Ellicott City
Urine is an uncommon but sometimes useful specimen for parasitology testing.
The panel looks for parasite eggs (ova), larvae, or adult forms that may be shed into urine, along with cellular material that can accompany infection.
Collection typically involves a clean-catch urine sample, meaning the area around the urethral opening is cleansed before voiding and a midstream portion is captured in a sterile container.
Results are generally reported within one to three business days, though the laboratory may request a repeat specimen if the first sample is insufficient or inconclusive.
