What is the Clinical Significance of Trophozoites and Cysts?
The presence of trophozoites and cysts in tissue samples is significant for diagnosing parasitic infections. Trophozoites are often associated with acute infections and symptomatic disease, while cysts are indicative of chronic or latent infections and the potential for transmission to new hosts. Accurate identification and differentiation between these stages are essential for choosing appropriate treatment strategies and controlling the spread of infection.
