RESUMO
Simulated freshly passed stools containing motile Entamoeba moshkovskii trophozoites were examined by direct wet mount and permanent (Trichrome) staining techniques. The percentage of detection by direct mount was 4.8%. The percentage of detection of the trophozoites by direct mount plus permanent stain was 58.5%. Laboratorians should be cautioned not to rely solely on the direct wet mount for detection or identification of protozoan trophozoites.
