چکیده
2144 CLINICAL CHEMISTRY, Vol.35,No.10,1989 We conclude that the influence of dextran on protein determinationiseasily avoided by adding glycerol to the blank reagent. The influence of Hemaccel was studied by dissolving control sera in a 35 g/L solution of this interfering compound. Results for total protein were found to be too high, but adding glycerol to the blank reagent did not result in a decrease of these results. Following the manual procedure with these control sera, we found comparable results if the sera were diluted in distilled water. We conclude that the positive influence of Hemaccel can be avoided only by applying the manual procedure.

The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values of a reagent strip test for the diagnosis of schistosomiasis mansoni by detecting circulating cathodic antigen (CCA) in urine were evaluated using 184 stool and urine samples collected from schoolchildren living in relatively low endemic area of schistosomiasis mansoni in Ethiopia. A combined result of stool samples processed...
