Immunodiagnosis of bancroftian filariasis.

Ciba Foundation symposium, 1987
The development of immunodiagnostic tests (IDTs) for bancroftian filariasis must be aimed at defined objectives, such as the determination of exposure rates, the detection of microfilaraemia and the diagnosis of clinical filariasis. Assays for both antibody and antigen detection are necessary.

Serological Diagnosis of Bancroftian and Malayan Filariasis

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1978
A study was undertaken to define the sensitivity and specificity of serological tests in bancroftian and malayan filariasis and correlate the findings with clinical disease. Sera were collected from subjects on three different islands in the Philippines: one endemic for bancroftian filariasis, another endemic for malayan filariasis and the third ...

Parasite Antigenemia without Microfilaremia in Bancroftian Filariasis

The American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1996
The term "endemic normal" in the context of filariasis refers to people who are amicrofilaremic and free of clinical signs or symptoms of filariasis despite regular exposure to the parasite. Some sera from endemic normals contain soluble Wuchereria bancrofti antigens that are detectable by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.

Immunodiagnosis of bancroftian filariasis.

Journal of the Egyptian Society of Parasitology, 1990
The indirect fluorescent antibody test, the enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay and the indirect haemagglutination test were evaluated in immunodiagnosis of bancroftian filariasis using W. bancrofti microfilarial antigens. The tests gave a higher positive reactions with microfilaraemic, clinical filarial and endemic normal sera respectively.

Renal involvement in bancroftian filariasis.

The National medical journal of India
There are anecdotal reports of renal involvement in filariasisbut no systematicstudy has yet been done.Fourteen out of 94 patients attending a filariasis clinic, who had proteinuria, haematuria or chyluria, under-went detailed in-patient investigations including a renal biopsy (9).Light microscopy of renal biopsy tissue revealed predominantly ...
