A rapid test based on an immunochromatography assay - Determine™ Syphilis TP (Abbott Lab.) for detecting specific antibodies to Treponema pallidum was evaluated against serum samples from patients with clinical, epidemiological and serological diagnosis of syphilis, patients with sexually transmitted disease other than syphilis, and individuals with negative serology for syphilis. The Determine™ test ...
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), employing antigens from Toxocara canis larvae and the absortion of suspected sera with Ascaris lumbricoides extracts was used in a seroepidemiological study performed in five municipalities of São Paulo State, Brazil (São Paulo, Campinas, Santos, Marília and Presidente Prudente) in order to determine the frequency of antibodies to Toxocara. In 2,025 blood samples co...
The contact with dogs at home or place of work has been investigated as factors of risk in the occurrence of the visceral larva migrans syndrome caused by Toxocara, in man. Through the E.L.I.S.A. (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) technique, the presence of antibodies to Toxocara was searched in the sera of 79 women who have been raising or had raised dogs at home in the last two years and 123 men, who were mu...
Foi padronizada e avaliada a reação de hemaglutinação passiva (RHA) para pesquisa de anticorpos específicos, anti-Cysticercus cellulosae, no líquido cefalorraquiano (LCR). Foram utilizadas hemácias humanas O Rh-formolizadas e sensibilizadas com extrato antigênico salino total de cisticercos, ainda pouco estudado. De 115 amostras estudadas de LCR de pacientes com neurocisticercose, 94 foram reagentes, resultando...
A comparison of two different standardized reagent procedures for the passive haemagglutination test (PHA) in the detection of specific antibody to Cysticercus cellulosae in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was carried out. The formaldehyde-treated group O Rh-human red blood cells (HuRBC) and glutaraldehyde-treated sheep red blood cells (SRBC) were the supplies for the reagents preparation and, in the tests, they were...
Foi avaliado o teste imunoenzimático (ELISA), para detecção de anticorpos da classe IgM na leptospirose humana. Nas amostras de soros analisadas, o teste ELISA demonstrou ser mais sensível, específico e precoce, quando comparado ao teste de soroaglutinação microscópica. A análise dos resultados obtidos nesta avaliação demonstra que o teste ELISA permite detectar níveis baixos de anticorpos circulantes, e também...
Four immunological techniques were evaluated for the detection of antibodies to Cysticercus cellulosae in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF): complement fixation test (CF), passive haem-magglutination test (PHA), indirect immunofluorescence test (IF) and the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). One-hundred twenty-five CSF from patients with confirmed neurocysticercosis and 94 CSF from a control group (60 from pati...
