title: A simple, rapid and accurate screening test for hyperchlororhoea.
abstract: A simple, rapid screening paper test for the quantitative estimation of Cl- concentration in feces is described. The measured time of decolorisation of the Chlorotrex indicator by aqueous extract of feces is inversely proportional to the chloride concentration. The technical details of the test are given. The test is very suitable for laboratory and mass screening.
