ABSTRACT
The aim of the present study is to evaluate cyst wall and protoscolex as an alternate source of antigen in serodiagnosis of cystic echinococcosis (CE). A total of 90 blood samples, 30 each of confirmed CE cases, disease controls and healthy controls were collected. Dot-ELISA using cyst wall, protoscolex and cyst fluid were used to demonstrate anti-hydatid antibodies. The sensitivity of Dot-ELISA using cyst wall, protoscolex and cyst fluid was 96.66 percent, 86.66 percent and 93.33 percent respectively and the specificity of the assay was 70 percent for Dot-ELISA using cyst fluid, protoscolex and cyst wall antigens. Results of the present study show that cyst wall and protoscolex can also be an useful source of antigen in detection of hydatid antibodies in the serodiagnosis of CE.
RESUMO
O propósito do presente trabalho é avaliar a parede cística e protoscolex como fontes alternativas de antígeno no sorodiagnóstico de equinococose cística (CE). De um total de 90 amostras de sangue, foram coletadas 30 de casos CE confirmados, 30 de controles de doença e 30 controles saudáveis. Dot-Elisa usando parede cística, protoscolex e fluido cístico foi utilizada para demonstrar anticorpos anti-hidáticos. A sensitividade de Dot-Elisa usando parede cística, protoscolex e fluido cístico foi de 96,66 por cento, 86,66 por cento e 93,33 por cento respectivamente e a especificidade do ensaio de 70 por cento para Dot-Elisa usando fluido cístico, protoscolex e antígeno da parede cística. Resultados do presente estudo mostram que parede cística e protoscolex podem ser fontes úteis de antígeno na detecção de anticorpos hidáticos no sorodiagnóstico do CE.
