Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To compare the diagnostic yield of saline and iodine preparation with trichrome staining of fresh sample of stool for diagnosis of parasitic infection. METHOD: Stools were examined in saline and iodine preparation and trichrome stained smears prepared according to the method recommended by WHO in oil immersion. RESULTS: Out of 400 specimens 215 were positive for parasitic infection and of these 81 were diagnosed exclusively on trichrome stained samples. CONCLUSION: Because of its better diagnostic field trichrome staining technique should be included in the routine stool examination.
