In order to identify the prevalence of Entamoeba histolytica in tourists with diarrhoea returning from countries of the developing world, sensitivity and specificity of a commercially available enzyme immunoassay (EIA) kit for the detection of Entamoeba histolytica coproantigen in stool were evaluated. Five hundred seventy-seven specimens from 469 patients were examined by microscopy and EIA. Sixty-two specimens from 49 patients were considered positive for Entamoeba histolytica. Compared with microscopic examination of stool samples, the EIA was found to be slightly more sensitive (90.3% vs. 87.1%) and was 97.7% specific for Entamoeba histolytica.
为了确定从发展中国家归来的腹泻游客中溶组织内阿米巴的流行情况，对一种市售酶免疫分析（EIA）试剂盒检测粪便中溶组织内阿米巴粪抗原的敏感性和特异性进行了评估。对469例患者的577份标本进行了显微镜检查和EIA检测。49例患者的62份标本被认为溶组织内阿米巴呈阳性。与粪便样本的显微镜检查相比，发现EIA的敏感性略高（90.3%对87.1%），对溶组织内阿米巴的特异性为97.7%。
