A retrospective study of laboratory records in a 400-bed university hospital in Campinas city, SP (Southeastern Brazil) suggests that infection by Strongyloides stercoralis is widespread in the region. A prevalence of 10.81% was found in 37,621 stool specimens examined in a two-year period. Parasite-specific IgG antibodies were measured by ELISA in sera from 90 patients with strongyloidiasis. The ELISA detected antibody in 76 (84.44%) patients, indicating that serodiagnostic tests may be helpful in screening patients for strongyloidiasis.
对巴西东南部圣保罗州坎皮纳斯市一家拥有400张床位的大学医院实验室记录进行的一项回顾性研究表明,粪类圆线虫感染在该地区广泛存在。在两年期间对37621份粪便标本进行检查,发现患病率为10.81%。通过酶联免疫吸附测定法(ELISA)检测了90例粪类圆线虫病患者血清中的寄生虫特异性IgG抗体。ELISA在76例(84.44%)患者中检测到抗体,这表明血清诊断测试可能有助于筛查粪类圆线虫病患者。
