| Markers | Cases | Egg category in mucosa biopsy | Confirmed diagnosis rate (%) (positive cases/ detected cases) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Suspected viable eggs cases | Unknown type eggs cases | Partially degraded eggs cases | Completely degraded eggs cases | |||
| Morphology | 41 | 6 | 5 | 21 | 9 | 14.63 (6 / 41) |
| ALP positive cases/ detected cases |
35 | 5/6 | 3/5 | 7/15 | 0/9 | 42.86 (15/35)* |
| AOS positive cases/ detected cases |
