title: Direct and indirect diagnosis of strongyloidiasis.
abstract: Stool examination of 196 subjects from Sharkia Governorate was done by the use of direct smear, Zinc sulphate centrifugal floatation method and stool culture. Serological diagnosis by ELISA was done. Stool culture was the most sensitive method for diagnosing Strongyloidiasis. However, ELISA could be of great value in epidemiological studies and follow up.
