A direct immunological method by means of latex agglutination (LX) reaction was applied to the demonstration of Cryptosporidium oocysts from stools and gut homogenates. The LX method gave a positive diagnosis for all the specimens judged positive by the modified Ziehl-Neelsen technique, which served as a reference method, The results of the study indicate that the LX method can be adopted as a diagnostic tool for cryptosporidiosis, but further study concerning the specificity and sensitivity of the method is clearly warranted.
采用乳胶凝集(LX)反应的直接免疫方法,用于检测粪便和肠道匀浆中的隐孢子虫卵囊。以改良齐-尼氏技术作为参考方法,LX方法对所有经其判定为阳性的标本均做出了阳性诊断。研究结果表明,LX方法可作为隐孢子虫病的诊断工具,但显然有必要对该方法的特异性和敏感性做进一步研究。
