Our experiences with the diagnosis of intestinal parasites in foreign apprentices from the tropics and subtropics.
The authors on an extensive coprologic material with high positivity of intestinal parasites compare the Hein's method of thick smear of stool with concentration methods. They find the Hein's method, despite its simplicity, a suitable method with broad diagnostic scope and high yield of positivity also for thin- capsulated ova of helminths and protozoan cysts (however, the specific diagnosis of the latter needs further methods with staining). They recommend Hein's method as one of the suitable screening methods under field conditions. At the same time, they report on the embedding of slide specimens in SOLAKRYL of Czechoslovak production. The findings are documented on microphotographs.
