Charcot-Leyden crystals what do they mean?
I did a stool test for parasites for a 6-year-old, all of them came out as absent, but there is an annotation
Quite numerous Charcot-Leyden crystals in the field of vision?
Should I be worried? What does it mean? There is little information on this subject on the Internet.
Thank you in advance for your answer

In order to interpret the test results, you should go to a doctor, pharmacists are not competent to do this. The presence of Charcot-Leyden crystals may indicate abnormalities, including a parasitic infection, so I encourage you to consult a doctor. He or she will be able to comprehensively assess the result, taking into account other test results and the patient's interview. Perhaps he or she will recommend repeating the tests.
