Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the efficiency of analyzing two versus three stool samples for detecting intestinal parasitic infections (IPIs) in children from Cuba, focusing on resource and time savings.
- Three stool samples were collected and analyzed using various microscopy techniques, revealing that while the wet mount was the most effective method overall, the Willis flotation method helped in identifying some helminth eggs.
- Results showed that for most protozoan parasites, analyzing two samples provided sufficient data for prevalence estimation, suggesting that additional sample analysis yields little extra value while increasing workload.
