#9650 Fasciola hepatica
IgG ELISA
ELISA kit for the diagnosis of human fascioliasis
Parasitology and clinical relevance
Fasciolosis is one of the most frequently
encountered autochthonous helminthic infection in Central Europe. The
immunodiagnosis of Fasciola hepatica infections is challenged by high
serological cross-reactivity with other (hepatic) parasitological infections encountered in Central Europe, such as alveolar echinococcosis, toxocarosis and
ascariosis, but also other parasitic infections acquired during overseas travel.
The SAP-2 recombinant antigen shows a high specificity, especially with
patients with other parasitic infections. It is a suitable serological test for routine diagnosis of human fasciolosis, particularly if
the results
are supported by clinical history.
Test-Kit
96 determinations of IgG antibodies using standard methodologies.
Wells sensitized with a recombinant antigen from Fasciola
hepatica.
8-wells polystyrene breakable strips: useful and economic format for laboratories with a small workload.
CE registration: CH-201504-0006 |
Sensitivity and specificity
The test detects Fasciola
hepatica infections.
A sensitivity of 77%
was found with 13 sera from patients with parasitologically proven Fasciola
hepatica infections.
A specificity of 99%
was found with 99 sera of blood donors (Swiss).
A specificity
of 98 % was
found with 100 sera from patients of an infectiology unit (Swiss).
A specificity of 97%
was found with patients with other parasitc infections. |
