Study on value of IHA in diagnosis of schistosomiasis japonica / 中国血吸虫病防治杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To evaluate the value of indirect hemagglutination test(IHA)in schistosomiasis diagnosis. Meth?ods The literature concerned schistosomiasis diagnosis with IHA in the databases of Medline,CNKI,VIP and Wanfang Data from 1982 to 2014 was collected and evaluated. Results Totally 21 articles which were satisfied with the research criteria were analyzed with the Meta?analysis method. The IHA method had high value in schistosomiasis diagnosis,the AUCSROC of IHA in laboratory evaluation was 0.990 6,while in filed evaluation was 0.832 9,and the difference between them was significant(Z=4.50,P<0.05). Conclusion The diagnosis value of IHA in field evaluation is less than that in laboratory. In the process of the elimination of schistosomiasis,developing a new and higher sensitive reagent in schistosomiasis diagnosis is needed.
