Slide method for detection of antibody-coated bacteria in urine sediments.
نویسندگان
چکیده
An immunofluorescent slide method incorporating 0.1% (wt/vol) Evans blue as a counterstain was developed and compared with a recently described tube method. Seventy-one urine specimens were tested concurrently by both methods. Results of the two methods agreed in 70 specimens and disagreed in only 1. We found the slide method to be less costly and time consuming than the tube method.

Further evaluation of the test for detection of antibody-coated bacteria in urine sediment.
To assess the reproducibility of the test for detection of antibody-coated bacteria in urine sediment as it might be used in a diagnostic laboratory for classification of urinary tract infections, multiple urine specimens from 83 patients were tested. The results were reproducible and consistent, or if inconsistent potentially explainable, in all but four patients. The explanation for inconsist...
متن کاملA Capture ELISA for the Diagnosis of Visceral Leishmaniasis Using a Monoclonal Antibody against a Leishmanial
capture ELISA system was developed for diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) using a monoclonal antibody raised against an antigen previously detected in the urine of VL patients. Urine samples from confirmed VL cases from Yemen, Nepal, Spain, Sudan and Brazil were tested in the capture ELISA in comparison with urine samples from endemic and non-endemic areas along with urine samples from pa...
متن کاملDevelopment of a rapid, one-step-visual method to detect Salmonella based on IC-LAMP method
Background: Salmonella can cause serious human gastroenteritis and is frequently isolated from various food samples. The cell culturing, immunoassay, and polymerase chain reactions (PCR) are the current methods to detect such pathogenic agents. However, these methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and thus unavailable for rapid-monitoring of Salmonella</em...
متن کاملOptimization of PCR-ELISA in Detection of Human Cytomegalovirus Infection
Abstract Background and Objective: Human Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is an important cause of congenital viral infection that can lead to serious diseases and complications in infants. Application of rapid, sensitive, and specific HCMV detection methods is necessary for congenital infection detection. We aimed to optimize the use of PCR and ELISA for detection of HCMV in infants. Material and Methods...
متن کاملThe detection of fibrinogen-fibrin degradation products by means of a new antibody-coated latex particle.
A rapid slide test for the detection of degradation products of fibrinogen/fibrin (FDP) using a new antibody-coated latex particle is described. The latex particle has been specifically coated with antibody to fragments D and E. The latex agglutination test (Thrombo-Wellcotest) has been compared with the tanned red cell haemagglutination inhibition immunoassay (TRCHII) in 143 patients with a va...
