In [[medicine]], when referring to [[human feces]], '''Blood in stool''' can refer to multiple conditions:
* [[Melena]]
* [[Hematochezia]]
 
The term is usually not used to describe [[fecal occult blood]], which refers to blood only found after testing is performed.
 
In infants, the [[Apt test]] can be used to distinguish [[Fetal hemoglobin]] from maternal blood.
