Molecular and immunological diagnosis of echinococcosis.
Echinococcosis is an infectious disease of humans caused by the larval (metacestode) stage of the cestode species Echinococcus granulosus (cystic echinococcosis or hydatid disease) or Echinococcus multilocularis (alveolar echinococcosis or alveolar hydatid disease). Clinical manifestations depend primarily on localization and size of hepatic lesions and may include hepatomegaly, obstructive jau...
متن کاملA Review on Parasitological, Immunological and Molecular Methods for Diagnosis of Human Strongyloidiasis
Strongyloidiasis caused by intestinal nematode Strongyloides stercoralis may leads to hyperinfection syndrome and disseminated infections. If not diagnosed and treated properly, it may even end to the death of patients. Sensitivity of parasitological methods is not good enough and multiple stool sampling over consecutive days is essential to improve the detection rate. The agar plate culture me...
متن کاملCurrent Issues on Molecular and Immunological Diagnosis of Tuberculosis
Laboratory diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) traditionally relies on smear microscopy and culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis from clinical samples. With recent advances in technology, there have been numerous efforts to develop new diagnostic tests for TB that overcome the low sensitivity and specificity and long turnover time associated with current diagnostic tests. Molecular biological tests...
متن کاملDiagnosis, treatment, and management of echinococcosis.
Echinococcosis (hydatid disease) is caused by the larvae of dog and fox tapeworms (cestodes) of the genusEchinococcus (family Taeniidae).This zoonosis is characterised by long term growth of metacestode (hydatid) cysts in humans and mammalian intermediate hosts. The two major species that infect humans are E granulosus and E multilocularis, which cause cystic echinococcosis (CE) and alveolar ec...
