Extra
- Stool antigen/PCR = preferred but requires active diarrhea
- Serology = cannot differentiate prior vs. current infection; good for isolated liver abscess without active diarrhea
- Stool O&P = Low sensitivity

- Antigen/PCR > serology > O&P

- Methods to test for Entamoeba histolytica may be remembered by the mnemonic POPES (PCR, stool O&P, ELISA, and Serology)
