Frequency of strongyloidiasis and associated factors: Analysis of 13 years of laboratory results in a tertiary referral hospital in Honduras, 2010-2022
CONCLUSIONS: The modified Baermann technique increased the detection of strongyloidiasis almost four times. Most cases were distributed among male adults. The cases diagnosed exclusively with the modified Baermann technique have differences from those with observed larvae in the direct smear. It is necessary to develop community-based population studies.PMID:38109136 | PMC:PMC10776084 | DOI:10.7705/biomedica.7086 (Source: Biomedica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud)

Performance of Community Water Board-Managed Passive In-Line Chlorinators Supported by a Circuit Rider Program in Rural Honduras
This study evaluated the ability of passive chlorinators and the associated kinds of external support necessary to provide adequate free chlorine residual (FCR) for community distribution systems in rural Honduras. We found that 77% of samples, from distribution systems with passive chlorinators installed by EOS International at storage tanks within these distribution systems, had FCR concentrations that met or exceeded the World Health Organization minimum threshold of 0.2 mg/L for point-of-use or piped systems. In EOS-supported communities, passive chlorinators delivered FCR ≥ 0.2 mg/L in 90% of tank samples, 83% of mi...
