ABSTRACT
In this study, a monoclonal enzyme linked immunosorbent assay based kit to detect antigen of E. histolytica only in stool was evaluated in comparison with the results of the microscopical examination of the stools and that of enzyme linked immunosorbent assay used to detect the anti-E. Histolytica IgG in serum. This study demonstrated that E. dispar was prevalent in the community and offered a new promise for E. Histolytica monoclonal enzyme immunoassay for the qualitative and semiquantitative determination of sensu lato antigen in stool as a sensitive tool for the detection and distinction of E. Histolytica from E. dispar infections
