Abstract
Entamoeba histolytica antigen assays on stool are widely used to diagnose amebiasis. We report a case of confirmed amebic colitis with a false-negative antigen detection that became positive after treatment. Our results indicate that these assays may underdiagnose acute amebic infection when used alone and should be used cautiously.
摘要
粪便中的溶组织内阿米巴抗原检测被广泛用于诊断阿米巴病。我们报告了一例确诊的阿米巴结肠炎，其抗原检测呈阴性，但在治疗后转为阳性。我们的结果表明，这些检测方法在单独使用时可能会漏诊急性阿米巴感染，应谨慎使用。
