Sensitivity and Specificity of Multiple Kato-Katz Thick Smears and a Circulating Cathodic Antigen Test for Schistosoma mansoni Diagnosis Pre- and Post-repeated-Praziquantel Treatment
BACKGROUND Two Kato-Katz thick smears (Kato-Katzs) from a single stool are currently recommended for diagnosing Schistosoma mansoni infections to map areas for intervention. This 'gold standard' has low sensitivity at low infection intensities. The urine point-of-care circulating cathodic antigen test (POC-CCA) is potentially more sensitive but how accurately they detect S. mansoni after repeat...
متن کاملAssessing stool quantities generated by three specific Kato-Katz thick smear templates employed in different settings
BACKGROUND The Kato-Katz technique is recommended for the diagnosis of helminth infections in epidemiological surveys, drug efficacy studies and monitoring of control interventions. We assessed the comparability of the average amount of faeces generated by three Kato-Katz templates included in test kits from two different providers. METHODS Nine hundred Kato-Katz thick smear preparations were...
متن کاملDevelopment and Evaluation of a Sensitive PCR-ELISA System for Detection of Schistosoma Infection in Feces
BACKGROUND A PCR-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (PCR-ELISA) was developed to overcome the need for sensitive techniques for the efficient diagnosis of Schistosoma infection in endemic settings with low parasitic burden. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS This system amplifies a 121-base pair tandem repeat DNA sequence, immobilizes the resultant 5' biotinylated product on streptavidin-coated st...

متن کاملModification of the indirect haemagglutination test for amoebiasis.
Optimal conditions for carrying out the indirect haemagglutination test with sheep erythrocytes were studied using the microtitre system. The age of the erythrocytes, concentration of reagents, time and temperature of tanning, sensitization, and incubation are described with reference to replication of titres. Sera from patients with amoebic colitis were used to evaluate the test conditions.
