Detection worms in stool detection of eggs using adhesive tape method is better. Charcot-Leyden crystals frequent. 

Detection eggs (after enrichment if necessary). Ocassion-al worm in stool. Charcot-Leyden crystals frequent. 

Detection Virtually only worm eggs, best detected after enrichment. Anaemia only in cases of severe infestation with worms. Charcot-Leyden crystals rare. 

Detection eggs rare but highly mobile rhabditiform larvae (which emerge within the intestinal tract, unlike hookworm). Charcot-Leyden crystals always present. 

Secondary criteria (10,27), such as A. fumigatus in sputum by repeated cultures or microscopic examination, expectoration of brown mucus plugs or flecks containing eosinophils and Charcot-Leyden crystals, and late skin reactivity to Aspergillus antigen, are less frequently seen and less important.
