Abstract
One hundred and seventy feces specimens from patients under controlled treatment for strongyloidosis were tested by Baermann's method as modified by COUTINHO, CAMPOS and AMATO NETO (1951) as well as by the method of RUGAI, MATTOS and BRISOLA (1954). One hundred and twelve specimens were positive for larvae of Strongyloides stercoralis by both methods; 47 specimens were negative by both methods; 8 were positive only by the modified Baermann's method and 3 were positive only by Rugai et al's method. The latter method was simpler and more economic and hygienic. The difference between the results of both methods is not statistically significant, When specimens were positive only by one method, the number of larva e was very small.
