ABSTRACT
Adult mites' bodies of Dermatophagoides farinae were used as antigen in an indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) to detect mite-specific IgG in sera of 48 patients with intestinal acariasis based on stool examination. Antibody titers with positive reaction ranged from 14 to 1512 in 48 patients with intestinal acariasis. If antibody titers > or = 116 is regarded as being positive, the positive rate of patients detected with IFAT was 92%.
