title: [Systematic parasitic coprologic testing. Value in hospital kitchen staff].
abstract: The results of annual parasitological coprology in 56 members of the kitchen staff of a hospital over a 6-year period have been studied. Among these subjects, 27 had at least one positive examination. The results were compared with those from other hospitals. Among the parasites found were 2 Strongyloides stercoralis, 4 Schistosoma mansoni and 31 protozoa with direct transmission. The value of this examination is discussed, taking into account the increasing number of immunodepressed patients.
