Agreement of the Kato-Katz test established by the WHO with samples fixed with sodium acetate analyzed at 6 months to diagnose intestinal geohelminthes

•We evaluated the Kato-Katz test with stool samples fixed with sodium acetate (SAF).•We compared unfixed samples with the same samples fixed in SAF at 6 months.•A decrease in prevalence was estimated only for Uncinaria sp. (p=0.06) at 6 months.•Reductions in loads for Uncinaria sp. and T. trichiura...
