In Peru, enteroparasitosis appears to be distributed according to geographical regions, with various studies showing a predominance of helminths in the jungle and protozoa on the coast and in the highlands. The objective was to compare three coproparasitological methods for diagnosing intestinal parasitosis in children aged 4 to 11 at the Virgen del Rosario School in the Ventanilla District in 2018. Materials and methods: The research was descriptive, observational, cross-sectional, and prospective. A total of 100 fecal samples were analyzed using the Direct Method, the Spontaneous Sedimentation in Tube Technique (SSTT), and the Sheather Technique. Results: The study evidenced polyparasitic infections by protozoa: Entamoeba coli, Endolimax nana, Iodamoeba butschilii, and Giardia lamblia (the latter being the most prevalent at 33%). No helminths were found. The SSTT showed good performance with high sensitivity and specificity for Giardia lamblia, Iodamoeba butschilii, and Entamoeba coli (100%), and for Endolimax nana (92.2% and 100%, respectively). Conclusions: It was demonstrated that the Spontaneous Sedimentation in Tube Technique (SSTT) was highly sensitive and specific as a diagnostic test for determining enteroparasitosis, suggesting it could become a useful alternative in developing countries like ours.
