Parasite concentration is not consistent among studies, perhaps reflecting low sensitivity of diagnostic methods used in earlier entries. [citation needed] Current approach to diagnosis involves demonstration of parasite by microscopy, in vitro culture or animal inoculation; immunodiagnosis of parasite antigen; detection of parasite DNA in tissue.
Unfortunately, you can’t just flick them off your skin. They’re colorless and so tiny, a microscope is the only way to see them. (Here are the 12 gross things living on your body right now .)
Immune-mediated inflammatory changes occur in the skin, lung, liver, intestine, central nervous system, and eyes. Signs of the body's immune response may include eosinophilia, edema, and arthritis. [10] An example of the immune response is the hypersensitivity reaction that may lead to anaphylaxis.
