Kato Katz Kit:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fecal smear kit designed for efficient means of diagnosing intestinal Schistosomiasis and Soil-Transmitted Helminthiasis (STH).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Principle: People infected with STH or intestinal Schistosomiasis pass the eggs of the worms through their feces. By examining a stool sample under a microscope it is possible to count the number and the type of eggs that are present. (WHO, 2008<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instructions for Use:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Soak cellophane strips in 50% Glycerol-Malachite Green or -Methylene Blue solution for at least 24 hours before use.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Transfer a small amount of feces onto a piece of scrap paper.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Press nylon screen on top of fecal sample.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Using flat-sided applicator stick, scrape across the upper surface of the screen to sieve the fecal sample.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Place a template on a clean microscope slide.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Transfer a small amount of sieved fecal material into the hold of the template and carefully fill the hole. Level with the applicator stick.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Remove the template carefully so that all the fecal material is left on the slide and none is left sticking to the template.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Cover the fecal sample on the slide with a glycerol solution-soaked cellophane strip.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. If an excess of glycerol is present on the upper surface of the cellophane, wipe off the excess with a small piece of absorbent tissue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Invert the microscope slide and press the fecal sample against the cellophane on a smooth surface to spread the sample evenly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  11. Do not lift the slide straight up. The cellophane may separate. Gently slide the microscope slide sideways holding the cellophane.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Preparation of the slide is now complete. The slide can be read after 24 hour incubation at room temperature.  (WHO, 1991)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
