[Study of Strongyloides stercoralis in the duodenal juice obtained by the examination of a string capsule or the Enterotest].
We present our experience in the investigation of Strongyloides stercoralis in the duodenal juice obtained by the "string capsule" o Enterotest, in 1,511 patients from the Gastroenterology Service of the National Hospital "Edgardo Rebagliati Martins" IPSS, between January 1985 to July 1990. We found 36 patients parasitized with Strongyloides stercoralis, an incidence of 2.4%. This method was good tolerated and have proved to be simple, fast, effective and allowing to examine simultaneously many patients at a very low cost.
