Diagnosis of Leptospirosis: Comparison between Microscopic Agglutination Test, IgM-ELISA and IgM Rapid Immunochromatography Test
BACKGROUND Leptospirosis is diagnosed on clinical grounds, and confirmed by microscopic agglutination test (MAT). IgM-ELISA (Serion-Virion) and immunochromatography test (Leptocheck-WB) are two immunodiagnostic assays for leptospirosis. Their sensitivity, specificity and applicability in Sri Lanka have not been systematically evaluated. METHODS Clinically diagnosed leptospirosis patients (n =...
متن کاملMacroscopic agglutination test for rapid diagnosis of human leptospirosis.
A commercially available slide agglutination test (SAT) for the diagnosis of human leptospirosis was evaluated by comparing it to an immunoglobulin M (IgM) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and to the microscopic agglutination test (MAT). For all 108 patients, leptospirosis was diagnosed on the basis of a fourfold or greater increase in titer by MAT (seroconversion), and all but 1 of 24...
متن کاملDevelopment of a simple serological method for diagnosing leptospirosis: a microcapsule agglutination test.
A passive microcapsule agglutination test for the diagnosis of leptospirosis was developed by utilizing chemically stable microcapsules instead of sheep erythrocytes. In the test, sonically disrupted antigens of leptospira were sensitized to microcapsules treated with glutaraldehyde. Compared with the microscopic agglutination test, the passive microcapsule agglutination test showed a relativel...
متن کاملSerological Follow Up for Confirmation of Current Leptospirosis
Leptospirosis is a globally widespread zoonotic disease. It is most commonly seen in tropical and subtropical countries. Human hosts commonly acquire infection through skin abrasions and mucosal surfaces following contact with water or soil contaminated with urine of infected rodents or other mammals. It presents with signs and symptoms similar to other diseases like influenza, dengue fever, he...
متن کاملconstruction and validation of the translation teacher competency test and the scale of students’ perceptions of translation teachers
the major purpose of this study was to develop the translation teacher competency test (ttct) and examine its construct and predictive validity. the present study was conducted in two phases: a qualitative phase as well as a quantitative phase. in the first phase of the study, the author attempted to find out the major areas of competency required for an academic translation teacher. the second...
