چکیده

Giardia lamblia is a frequent pathogen in persistent diarrhoea. Both humoral and cellular immune responses are important in clearing the parasite and providing immunity. A rapid sensitive and specific serological test like dot ELISA could be useful for early detection of Giardia specific serum antibodies for routine diagnosis. This study reports the use of dot ELISA for the detection of Giardia lamblia antibodies in patients with giardiasis.
