Evaluation in clinical practice of the fluorescent amoebic antibody test.

Diagnosis of Intestinal Amoebiasis with Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Test

SUMMARY The results of direct stool examination in 102 watery and bloody diarrhea patients were compared with the presence of antibodies against Entamoeba histolytica with Indirect Fluorescent Antibody Test. Besides 22 healthy individuals included in this study as control group. It was found that 22 patients (21.5%) with a sera titre higher than 1/320 bad only 9 (8.8%) positive E. Histolytica ...

Comparison of indirect fluorescent-antibody amoebic serology with counterimmunoelectrophoresis and indirect hemagglutination amoebic serologies.

Patients ranged from those with no prior diagnosis of or suspected exposure to Entamoeba histolytica to those with proven amoebic liver abscesses (extraintestinal disease). A comparison of serologies from patients with proven and suspected amoebiasis or possible past exposure revealed good correlation between the indirect fluorescent antibody (IFA) procedure and the other methods used, counteri...

Left lobe amoebic liver abscess.

For reasons which are not quite clear amoebic liver abscesses in the left lobe are relatively uncommon. On account of the lesser bulk of the left lobe, and the potentially greater space under the left hemidiaphragm, expansive lesions within it remain less obtrusive than corresponding lesions in the right. Sixteen such cases are analysed and five distinct modes of clinical presentation have been...

Study and Diagnosis of Chronic Amebic Colitis

Since the ordinary tests for diagnosis chronic amebic colitis looks to be unsufficient. We try to design the following study. Our study seeks the importanc.;e of "IFA" (Indirect Immuno Fluorescent Aniti body). Among 145 patients with amebic colitis Entamoeba hystolitica observed with reapeted and specified tests. In searh of serologic tests, antibody range in 20 patients who had amebic coliti...
