Article Synopsis
- - Soil-transmitted helminths (STH) are a major health issue in poor tropical and subtropical communities, necessitating improved diagnostic methods beyond traditional techniques.
- - A study conducted from 2010 to 2019 in northern Salta, Argentina, analyzed 944 stool samples to evaluate the sensitivity of various diagnostic methods for detecting STH, revealing that sedimentation/concentration was the most effective.
- - The findings support the use of combined parasitological methods in clinical and public health labs and recommend incorporating these improved diagnostic strategies into World Health Organization control plans for STH.
