Diagnosis of Intestinal Amoebiasis with Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Test

SUMMARY The results of direct stool examination in 102 watery and bloody diarrhea patients were compared with the presence of antibodies against Entamoeba histolytica with Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Test. Besides 22 healthy individuals included in this study as control group. It was found that 22 patients (21.5%) with a sera titre higher than 1/320 bad only 9 (8.8%) positive E. Histolytica ...

evaluation of confounders in toxoplasmosis indirect fluorescent antibody assay

background : the ifa test is one of the most usual methods for detecting anti- toxoplasma antibod­ies, although it has not any unique standardization. it seems that the microscopic judg­ment of results is an important confounder in ifa test. therefore, we conducted the present study to clarify the role of microscopic observer, and other confounders on the test. methods: eighty sera were collect...

Automated fluorescent treponemal antibody test: instrument and evaluation.

Two evaluations of the automated fluorescent treponemal antibody (AFTA) test for the serodiagnosis of syphilis are described. The results of AFTA and manually performed fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorption (FTA-ABS) tests were compared on serum samples from clinically defined donor groups, and the reproducibility of each procedure was studied. Significant improvement of AFTA test results ...
