RESUMO
O método de detecção de parasitas por meio de sedimentação com Tween 20Õ foi comparado com o de formalina-éter. De um total de 297 amostras fecais examinadas, 72,1 por cento foram positivas. A técnica de formalina-Tween foi eficaz para demonstrar a presença de helmintos, particularmente ovos de Ascaris lumbricoides, Trichuris trichiura e ancilostomídeos. Entretanto, foi menos capaz de revelar protozoários. Este método é simples, de rápida execução e altamente sensível; revela infecções por parasitas, especialmente por meio da identificação de ovos de helmintos.
