An rK39 immunochromatographic test and immunofluorescent-antibody test (IFAT) for serodiagnosis of canine leishmaniasis were evaluated. The two tests showed correlation for all but one of the sera obtained from 68 dogs confirmed as leishmaniasis cases and 40 dogs (22 healthy dogs and 18 dogs with other diseases) from areas where the disease is not endemic. Specificity was 100% for both tests, while sensitivity was 97% for the rapid test and 99% for IFAT.
对用于犬利什曼病血清学诊断的rK39免疫层析试验和免疫荧光抗体试验(IFAT)进行了评估。对于从68只确诊为利什曼病病例的犬以及来自非该疾病流行地区的40只犬(22只健康犬和18只患有其他疾病的犬)采集的血清,除一份血清外,这两种试验显示出相关性。两种试验的特异性均为100%,而快速试验的敏感性为97%,IFAT的敏感性为99%。
