The evaluation of effectiveness of indirect hemagglutination, indirect fluorescent antibody test and enzyme immunoassay in serological diagnosis of Cystic Echinococcosis
Journal Title: JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY MEDICINE - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate serologically type Ig G antibodies against E. granulosus, in 163 patients who referred with the suspicion of Cystic Echinococcosis from various clinics to Laboratory between 2007 and 2008, using İndirect Hemagglutination (IHA) test, by an İndirect Fluorescence antibody (IFA) test, and by an Enzyme-Linked İmmunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and to evaluate this antibodies using by Western blot.Method: Type Ig G antibodies against E. granulosus in serum samples of patients were investigated by a commercial indirect hemagglutination (IHA) test, by an indirect fluorescence antibody (IFA) test, and by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results were comfirmed by Western blot method.Result: Out of 163 patients, 83(51%) were positive with IHA, 85(53%) were positive with IFA, and 70(43%) were positive with ELISA. According to Western blot test, sensitivity and specifity of IHA test were 88.76% and 94.59%, respectively, for IFA sensitivity was 89.89% and specificity was 93.24%, and for ELISA sensitivity was 78.65% and specificity was 100%. Conclusion: As result, IFA and IHA methods were found equally sensitive and specific in the serological diagnosis of cystic hydatidosis, but ELISA method was found more spesific (100%) when compared to these two methods.
