Drug efficacy as determined with the Kato-Katz method and FLOTAC basic technique.

Prevalence, geometric mean (GM) eggs per gram of stool (EPG), cure rate (CR) and egg reduction rate (ERR), as determined from stool samples examined with duplicate Kato-Katz thick smears and the FLOTAC basic technique in relation to the diagnostic ‘gold’ standard from school children treated with anthelmintic drugs. The diagnostic ‘gold’ standard was derived by the combined results of duplicate Kato-Katz thick smears and the FLOTAC basic technique.aTwo-sample test of proportions: P = 0.322.bTwo-sample test of proportions: P = 0.396.cTwo-sample test of proportions: P = 0.381.
