Comparison of Serological Methods (ELISA, DAT and IFA) for Diagnosis of Visceral Leishmaniasis Utilizing an Endemic Strain
Background: The causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Iran is Leishmania infantum (L. infantum) (Mediterranean type) and its major reservoir host is the dog. Ob-jective: To compare the serological methods including direct agglutination test (DAT), indirect immunofluorescent-antibody test (IFA) and enzyme-linked immunosorbent as-say (ELISA) for serodiagnosis of endemic strain of L. i...

متن کاملVisceral leishmaniasis in Iran and the role of serological tests in the diagnosis and epidemiological studies
Kale- azar is known as an endemic doses in some areas of Cars province ( in South) and Ardabil province ( in North- west) of Iran. In other provinces the disease has been reported, mostly, in sporadic from. However since 1949 when the first case of kale- azar was reported in Mazandaran province, to the end of 1993 more than 4300 cases had been diagnosed in at least 113 cities and districts....
متن کاملMicroalbuminuria and Glomerular Filtration Rate in Paediatric Visceral Leishmaniasis
Visceral leishmaniasis, caused by Leishmania donovani, is a serious form of leishmaniasis and fatal if untreated. Nearly half of the VL cases are children. There are very few studies of renal function in pediatric visceral leishmaniasis. The aim of this study was to evaluate renal dysfunction by studying glomerular filtration rate (GFR), microalbuminuria, and microscopic examination of urine. L...
