Comparison of the Kato-Katz, Wet Mount, and Formol-Ether Concentration Diagnostic Techniques for Intestinal Helminth Infections in Ethiopia
Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the operational characteristics (sensitivity and negative predictive value (NPV)) of wet mount, formol-ether concentration (FEC), and Kato-Katz techniques for the determination of intestinal parasitic infections. Method. A total of 354 faecal specimens were collected from students in Northwest Ethiopia and screened with Kato-Katz, wet mount, and ...
متن کاملFurther observations on the formol-ether concentration technique for faecal parasites.
The simplified version of Ritchie's formol-ether technique for the concentration of faecal cysts, ova, and larvae (Ridley and Hawgood, 1956), which is no less effective than the original, has been quite widely adopted as a useful routine diagnostic procedure. With further experience, however, three objections have become apparent, which apply also to some other concentration methods: (1) The de...
متن کاملThe formol-ether concentration technique for intestinal parasites: comparing 0.1 N sodium hydroxide with normal saline preparations.
The formol-ether method is a widely used technique for stool examination. We performed a comparative study of 0.1 N sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and normal saline preparation for the formol-ether technique in the detection of intestinal parasites. Of 30 parasite-containing stool samples, 22 (73%) were positive by 0.1 N NaOH and 18 (60%) were positive by normal saline. The detection rate of both prep...
متن کاملEvaluation of the Quality Management System due to the Implementation of the SLIPTA Program at the Bamenda Regional Hospital Laboratory, Cameroon
Background and Aims: Improving the Quality Management System (QMS) of clinical laboratories and achieving accreditation are important in health care delivery. It can be achieved by implementing the World Health Organizaton Stepwise Laboratory Improvement Process Towards Accreditation (SLIPTA). The SLIPTA program was introduced to the Bamenda Regional Hospital (BRHL) in 2010. Our objectives were...
متن کاملModified Formalin-Ether Concentration Technique for Diagnosis of Human Strongyloidiasis
We compared the efficacy and applicability of a modified formalin-ether concentration technique (M-FECT) to the conventional FECT (C-FECT) and the agar plate culture (APC) method for the detection of Strongyloides stercoralis larvae. For this purpose, we used 600 human fecal specimens collected in an endemic area of southern Thailand. In the M-FECT, we used 2 layers of wire meshes, instead of g...
