Antigenemia in patients with Mediterranean visceral leishmaniasis (MVL) due to Leishmania infantum was retrospectively assessed by sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Circulating Leishmania antigens, partially in free form, were in evidence in 53% of serum samples from immunocompetent individuals with MVL. Following successful therapy, antigenemia decline as measured by ELISA was more pronounced than antibody decrease.
采用夹心酶联免疫吸附试验(ELISA)法对因感染婴儿利什曼原虫而导致的地中海内脏利什曼病(MVL)患者的抗原血症进行了回顾性评估。在免疫功能正常的 MVL 患者的血清样本中,有 53%检测到了部分以游离形式存在的循环利什曼原虫抗原。经成功治疗后,ELISA 检测到的抗原血症下降程度比抗体下降更为显著。
