Prevalence, quartiles, arithmetic mean and geometric mean eggs per gram of stool (EPG), and sensitivity with 95% confidence intervals (CI), as determined from stool samples examined with duplicate Kato-Katz thick smears and the FLOTAC basic technique at baseline in 343 school children from Kinyasini and Kilombero primary schools, Zanzibar, in March 2009. The diagnostic ‘gold’ standard was derived by the combined results of duplicate Kato-Katz thick smears and the FLOTAC basic technique.
