The aim of this study was to detect the seroprevalence of human fascioliasis in Isfahan County, central Iran in 2013.
Overall, 471 sera samples were collected from people recalled randomly to 20 health centers in the city of Isfahan and 10 related villages in 2014. Sera were examined using ELISA test. A questionnaire was filled out for each participant.
Altogether eight cases (1.7%) were seropositive which had the OD absorbance in ELISA test more than the calculated cutoff of 0.36. All of them were female. One positive subject had a history of consuming Delar (Local dish) and three seropositive cases with history of eating Zeitoon-Parvadeh (Proceeded olive).
Isfahan County might be considered as one area apt for fascioliasis. More studies in terms of veterinary investigation and verifying the risk factors are necessary.
本研究的目的是检测2013年伊朗中部伊斯法罕县人体片形吸虫病的血清流行率。
2014年,从伊斯法罕市20个健康中心和10个相关村庄随机召回的人群中总共收集了471份血清样本。采用酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)试验检测血清。为每位参与者填写了一份问卷。
共有8例(1.7%)血清呈阳性,其ELISA试验中的光密度(OD)吸光度超过计算得出的临界值0.36。所有病例均为女性。1名阳性受试者有食用Delar(当地菜肴)的病史,3例血清阳性病例有食用Zeitoon-Parvadeh(加工橄榄)的病史。
伊斯法罕县可能被视为片形吸虫病的一个易感地区。有必要在兽医调查和确认危险因素方面开展更多研究。
