Comparison of the thick smear and Kato-Katz techniques for diagnosis of intestinal helminth infections.

Abstract

This study compared the efficiency of Kato-Katz thick smear and thick smear techniques for the diagnosis of intestinal helminths. The sensitivity of the thick smear technique was higher than that of the Kato-Katz method for the diagnosis of all helminths except Schistosoma mansoni.
