BURDEN OF INTESTINAL PARASITIC INFECTION IN A TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL

In this retrospective study, 1872 stool specimens examined from January 2018 to December 2018 by saline and iodine mount were included. The negative samples were further screened using formol ether concentration technique. 114 (16.1%) out of 1872 specimens were positive for parasitic infection.

requesting for sputum exam for smear-positive cases are followed by 89.7% (n=35). Knowledge or information on tuberculosis is gained mainly through periodicals and attending academic meetings. The internet is also a rich source of updated information on this subject. Much effort is nee[r]
