What does this test include?
The published package contains a 25-parameter CBC, ESR, urinalysis with sediment, stool microbiology and stool parasitology for the child, plus syphilis serology from one parent.
Why might it be ordered?
- For nursery admission paperwork when these tests are required.
- To collect the listed child and parent results in one package.
What sample is needed?
The child needs a blood sample, fresh urine and stool samples; one parent needs a blood sample for syphilis serology. Ask for the correct containers and confirm whether microbiology and parasitology need separate portions.
How should you prepare?
Follow the collection instructions exactly and label every sample. Ask the nursery or laboratory how recent each result must be.
How are the results reported?
The nursery or responsible clinician determines whether the documents meet admission requirements. A positive culture, parasite or serology result may need confirmation and medical follow-up.
