comparison of fecal antigen detection using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay with the auramine phenol staining method for diagnosis of human cryptosporidiosis
materials and methods a total of 228 fecal samples were collected from residents of rural areas of hamadan, west of iran. each fecal sample was divided into two parts, one kept frozen at -20˚c for ag-capture elisa and the other in 10% formalin for the ap staining method. cryptosporidium ag-detection elisa procedure was performed according to the manual of the manufacturer. the preserved samples...
متن کاملComparison of Fecal Antigen Detection Using Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay With the Auramine Phenol Staining Method for Diagnosis of Human Cryptosporidiosis
BACKGROUND Fecal antigen detection using the enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and oocyst detection using auramine phenol (AP) staining methods, are told to be more sensitive compared to other conventional methods, for diagnosis of cryptosporidiosis. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to evaluate the antigen-detection capacity in the stool specimens using ELISA and oocyst det...
متن کاملComparison of Polymerase Chain Reaction, Ziehl-Neelsen Staining and Histopathologic Findings in Formalin-fixed, Paraffin-Embedded Tissue Specimens for Diagnosis of Tuberculosis
Background and Objective: Tuberculosis is still a major health problem, involving about 1/3 of the world´s population. Diagnosis is difficult when we only use Ziehl-Neelson staining. Many cases may be missed. A more rapid and sensitive diagnostic method is necessary. PCR may be helpful. The aim of this study was to compare PCR, Zieh-Neelsen staining and histopathologic findings in diagnosis of ...
متن کاملEvaluation of Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay, Utilizing Native Antigen B for Serodiagnosis of Human Hydatidosis
Background: Hydatidosis is one of the cosmopolitan parasitic zoonoses caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. Diagnosis of hydatidosis is still an unresolved problem. Serological tests using crude antigens for diagnosis of E. granulosus are sensi-tive, however their specificity are not satisfactory. Therefore, WHO recommended spe-cific serological methods using specific antigens,...
متن کاملrapid and specific polymerase chain reaction-enzyme linked immunosorbent assay for detection of escherichia coli lt toxin from clinical isolates
methods this experimental study was conducted on iranian children communities from may to november 2014. forty stool samples were obtained from laboratories and investigated for heat-labile toxin (lt). specific primers were designed and the dig -labeled pcr products were bounded to streptavidin-coated wells of a microtiter plate and detected by anti-dig-peroxidase conjugate. an internal biotin-...
