The present study was conducted to compare stool antigen detection with PCR for the diagnosis of Entamoeba sp. infection in asymptomatic cyst passers from Iran. Entamoeba dispar and, in one case, E. moshkovskii were the Entamoeba spp. found in the amebic cyst passers. There was a 100% correlation between the results from the TechLab E. histolytica II stool antigen kit and those from nested PCR. We concluded that E. dispar is much more common in asymptomatic cyst passers in Iran and that antigen detection and PCR are comparable diagnostic modalities.
本研究旨在比较粪便抗原检测与聚合酶链反应(PCR)在诊断来自伊朗无症状包囊携带者溶组织内阿米巴属感染中的应用。在阿米巴包囊携带者中发现的溶组织内阿米巴属为迪斯帕内阿米巴,有一例为莫斯科维奇内阿米巴。TechLab溶组织内阿米巴II型粪便抗原检测试剂盒的结果与巢式PCR的结果之间存在100%的相关性。我们得出结论,在伊朗无症状包囊携带者中,迪斯帕内阿米巴更为常见,并且抗原检测和PCR是相当的诊断方法。
