Abstract:
:The recently proposed CSF method for diagnosing intestinal helminthiases was compared with the other methods (direct; Faust et al.; spontaneous sedimentation in water; and Kato-Katz) that are routinely for this purpose. The CSF method performed satisfactorily, thus showing that this technique can be adopted for use in diagnoses or epidemiological analyses.
