Coproscopy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Koproskopie (German chair show ) describes an in antiquity (with Hippocrates and Galen (for example, Theophilus Protospathaire in the 7th century or from) and in the Middle Ages Avicenna ) applied or described, in addition to the urine inspection (uroscopy) used blank, diagnostic method for Examination of feces . The chair review sections contained in the Hippocratic prognoses , which judge an impending death from the nature (color and smell) of the patient's excrement, can also be found in a short German-language treatise written around 1425, probably by a Hessian author. Also using Galenus' comments on Hippocratic prognoses, a Lüneburg chair review text was created in the 14th or 15th century .

Coproscopic methods are used today, especially in veterinary medicine, as parasitological coproscopy. When worms or tapeworm limbs are lost , parasite infestation can already be recognized macroscopically. In addition, microscopic detection of parasite eggs is possible using the flotation or sedimentation method, and larvae can be detected using the larval migration method . A high level of parasite infestation can already be recognized in the direct smear. Oocysts and cysts can also be detected using the flotation method. For Cryptosporidium or Giardia is a quick immunochromatographic test exists.
