    Specimens for culture should be transported to the laboratory as promptly as possible within 24 hours of collection. Most specimens can be transported at room temperature, while some require ice. Transportation procedures should minimize delays and prevent damage or loss of specimens, especially for off-site health care facilities. The Kato-Katz/Thick smear technique uses fecal samples to detect and quantify helminth eggs under a microscope, allowing determination of prevalence and intensity of helminth infections in subjects.

    7. A specimen is considered acceptable after collection only within 24 hours.

    Specimens for culture


    should be transported to the laboratory as promptly as possible for processing. Most specimens can be
    transported at room temperature. Some specimens must be transported on ice. For health care systems
    with off-site facilities, transportation procedures should be developed to minimize delays, prevent
    damage to specimens during transport, and prevent loss of specimen.

    8. The Kato-Katz/Thick smear technique facilitates the detection and quantification of helminth eggs
    that infected subjects pass in their feces. A thick smear is prepared on a microscopic slide and helminth
    eggs are enumerated under a light microscope and recorded for each helminth species separately.
    Subsequently, the prevalence and intensity of helminth infections can be determined.
