The correct answer is C, recommend confirmation of Entamoeba histolytica amebiasis by a reference laboratory.  Fecal leukocytes may be mistaken for ameba, especially in unstained wet mounts.  Preserved fecal specimens should be analyzed by a reference laboratory using a permanent stained slide to identify E. histolytica as well as to determine the presence of other parasites.
