Use of Hemo-De to eliminate toxic agents used for concentration and trichrome staining of intestinal parasites

Abstract

In a blind comparison, 465 randomly collected clinical fecal specimens were examined. Hemo-De was found to be an excellent replacement for ethyl acetate in the concentration procedure and for carbol-xylene and xylene in the trichrome staining procedure. Elimination of toxic reagents, combined with its lower cost, makes Hemo-De the preferred choice in routine parasitology examinations.
