Field Application and the Efficiency of Indirect Haemagglutination Test Kit in the Diagnosis of Human Leptospirosis
Human sera with the history of pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) received from physicians of various hospitals and laboratories in Namakkal of Tamilnadu were screened a developed IHA test kit and the results were compared with that of MAT. Out of a total of 176 sera screened by the developed kit, 95 samples (54.0 per cent) were positive. The sensitivity and specificity of IHA with reference to MA...
متن کاملEvaluation of the indirect hemagglutination assay for diagnosis of acute leptospirosis in Hawaii.
Timely diagnosis of leptospirosis is important to ensure a favorable clinical outcome. The definitive serologic assay, the microscopic agglutination test (MAT), requires paired sera and is not useful for guiding early clinical management. The only screening test approved for use in the United States, the indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA), has not undergone extensive field evaluation. To ass...

AIM The objective of this study was to screen the prevalence of contagious ecthyma (CE) among the goat population of Assam owing to its high prevalence rate. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, a total of 231 serum samples were collected from 12 districts of Assam during September 2013 to July 2014. The serum samples were tested for the presence of antibodies against Orf virus (ORFV) by indi...
متن کاملEvaluation of the indirect hemagglutination assay for diagnosis of acute leptospirosis.
Serology plays an important role in the diagnosis of leptospirosis. Few laboratories have the resources and expertise to perform the microscopic agglutination test. There is a need for rapid and simple serological tests which facilitate the early diagnosis of leptospirosis, while antibiotic therapy may be most effective. A commercially available indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA; MRL Diagnos...
متن کاملDevelopment of indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for diagnosis of canine leptospirosis
AIM This study was taken up to develop an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (i-ELISA) for screening antibodies against Leptospira spp. in canines. MATERIALS AND METHODS An i-ELISA was developed using outer membrane protein extracted from Leptospira interrogans serovar canicola used for coating the well with concentration of 0.5 µg/µl. A total of 250 serum samples from clinically affe...
