Abstract: The most important conclusion that can be drawn from the high percentage of parasitic infections in patients not suspected of harboring parasites is that good clinical criteria for requesting stool examination for parasitic information are not always available. This study suggests the usefulness of routine stool examinations for screening unsuspected parasitosis in selected urban populations with high rate of infection and poor hygienic standards, even outside tropical endemic areas.
