How does Histology Aid in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Trematode Infections?
Histology plays a vital role in diagnosing trematode infections by identifying the presence of eggs or adult worms in tissue biopsies. It also helps assess the extent of tissue damage and the host's immune response. This information is essential for determining the severity of the infection and guiding treatment strategies. Additionally, histological studies contribute to understanding the pathogenesis and epidemiology of trematode infections, aiding in the development of preventive measures.
