Evaluation of Formalin — Acetone Sedimentation in the Concentration of Stool for Intestinal Parasites

Formalin-acetone sedimentation was compared with the formalin-ether method for the concentration of stool for intestinal parasites. Of 80 stool specimens, 45 (56.25%) were positive for parasites by the formalin-acetone method. The figures for the two methods were formalin-ether 35 (43.75%) and for the direct lacto-phenol cotton blue wet mount method 17 (21.25%). There was no statistically significant difference in the parasite recovery rate between the two methods. Acetone is more stable, safer, and a cheaper fat solvent and promises to be a useful alternative to ether.
