The objective of this study was to determine the presence of Strongyloides stercoralis in urbangarbage collectors through the use of immunological and parasitological methods. A total of 92individuals were evaluated from August, 1997, to June, 1998. For the parasitological diagnosisBaermann and Lutz’ methods were applied. The immunological diagnosis involved the indirectfluorescence antibody test (IFAT) and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detectspecific IgG antibodies. Of the 92 workers examined, six (6.5%) were infected with larvae of S.stercoralis . The IFAT detected 19 (16.3%) and the ELISA 17 (18.5%) positive serum samples. Thedifferences between the results of parasitological and immunological methods were statisticallysignificant (p<0.05). These results demonstrate that there is a need to improve the health conditionsof this category of city employees.
