Diagnosis of Strongyloides stercoralis by acid-fast staining
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 April 2024
Abstract
Faecal smears of patients and Strongyloides stercoralis obtained from dogs were acid-fast stained with Kinyoun and Auramine O staining procedures. Both larval (rhabditiform and filariform) and adult parasites were effectively stained by these methods. Acid-fast staining can serve as a useful procedure for diagnosing strongyloidiasis.
