Statistical analysis of the incidence of positives in the examination of parasitological specimens.

Marin Medical Laboratories, Greenbrae, California 94904.

ABSTRACT

Results of the examination of 2,000 parasitological specimens were analyzed for differences between results obtained by a technologist working in parasitology only and those obtained by general microbiologists who were also performing other laboratory work. The relative share of specimens determined to be positive by the specialist was approximately twice as high as the relative share determined by the general microbiologists.
