Hi all,
My colleague Dr Hema Varadhan wrote a nice guest posting the other month on blastocystis – https://aimed.net.au/2016/11/18/blastocystis-commensal-or-culprit-do-i-really-care/
Certainly no sense in isolation and no inf control issues per se
It is highly prevalent in children , dependent on what method is used to detect- probably normal flora in fact!
