The Kato-Katz (KK) method is a well-known method of fecal examination for helminthiases. Its diagnostic sensitivity was found very high for clonorchiasis. The present study evaluated the correlation of Clonorchis sinensis egg counts by the KK method with those by direct smear and formalin-ether (FE) technique. The egg counts obtained by the KK method (Y) were correlated with the counts by direct smear (X) with the equation of Y = 659.4 + 0.266X (r2 = 0.738), but not with those by the FE method. The present study demonstrated that the KK method and direct smear were useful for both qualitative and quantitative diagnosis of clonorchiasis, especially in the field.
加藤厚涂片法(KK法)是一种众所周知的用于检查蠕虫病的粪便检测方法。研究发现,该方法对华支睾吸虫病的诊断敏感性很高。本研究评估了通过KK法检测的华支睾吸虫虫卵计数与直接涂片法和甲醛乙醚(FE)法检测结果之间的相关性。通过KK法获得的虫卵计数(Y)与直接涂片法获得的计数(X)相关,方程为Y = 659.4 + 0.266X(r2 = 0.738),但与FE法获得的计数不相关。本研究表明,KK法和直接涂片法对于华支睾吸虫病的定性和定量诊断均有用,尤其是在现场。
