The quantitative analysis of A. lumbricoides eggs in stool of 205 subjects (male 101 and female 104) showed that the mean eggs per gram(EPG) by Kato‐ Katz (KK) (EPG = 11130.89) was markedly higher than those of Formal‐Ether concentration technique (FE) (EPG = 1593.32). Co‐efficient of correlation was significant (r = 0.453**) at p = 0.01 level. Age based comparison among the subjects also revealed that KK had a better quantification of A. lumbricoides eggs than FE.
