Abstract
The use of lacto-phenol cotton blue (LPCB) stain for wet mount preparation of stools to demonstrate intestinal parasites by routine microscopy was evaluated in this study. LPCB-stained trophozoites and cysts and helminthic ova could easily be detected and identified in LPCB wet mounts of stools. The stain is recommended for routine use in the wet mount preparation of stools in a parasitology laboratory.
