A study of Enterobius vermicularis egg density in 846 slides
Abstract
Enterobius vermicularis egg density was determined in the slides from enterobiasis infected schoolchildren using the Scotch tape technique. From the total 846 sample slides, the density of Enterobius vermicularis egg in low power field (LPF) of light compound microscope was 31.21% (0-1 egg/LPF), 53.66% (2-10 eggs/LPF), 11.23% (11-30 eggs/LPF), 2.84% (31-60 eggs/LPF) and 1.06% (>60 eggs/LPF). In this study, there was no significant difference in the Enterobius vermicularis egg density between the different areas (agricultural, industrial and metropolitan area) or between the sexes of the infected schoolchildren (p > 0.05).
