Parasite?
Need help identifying round object near the center of the first picture. Seen consistently throughout urine specimen. A little refractory, and definitely larger than WBCs.

Need help identifying round object near the center of the first picture. Seen consistently throughout urine specimen. A little refractory, and definitely larger than WBCs.
Our lab has noticed a decline in quality of our current H. pylori test kit (Cardinal brand), leading to false negatives.
Has anyone else experienced this and do you have other kits you recommend?
My first instinct was to discontinue testing, but LabCorp (our corporate appointed reference lab) no longer offers the test, and providers are adamant that we continue to perform testing on a different kit.
