The persistence of anti-Leishmania donovani antibodies in past visceral leishmaniasis (VL) cases was retrospectively assessed by means of the direct agglutination test (DAT) and the rK39 enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Antibody titers remained high for an extended period of time in past cases of VL. These results highlight the need to carefully elicit the history of patients with VL symptoms.
通过直接凝集试验(DAT)和rK39酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA),对既往内脏利什曼病(VL)病例中抗杜氏利什曼原虫抗体的持续存在情况进行了回顾性评估。在既往VL病例中,抗体滴度在很长一段时间内一直保持较高水平。这些结果凸显了仔细询问有VL症状患者病史的必要性。
