A prototype test kit being developed, by the World Health Organization (WHO), for the diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis (VL) was evaluated in the Baringo district of Rift Valley province in Kenya. The screening of approximately 10,000 individuals for the signs of VL produced 305 suspected cases. These cases and 304 controls matched for sex and age (+/

In a comparative study 88 patients were diagnosed as suffering from kala-azar (visceral leishmaniasis) using 3 parasitological methods simultaneously. Splenomegaly was absent in 4 cases. In 84 patients with splenomegaly, splenic aspiration appeared to be the most sensitive method (96.4%), followed by bone marrow aspiration (70.2%) and lymph node ...

Equine protozoal myeloencephalitis (EPM) is a serious neurological disease of horses in the Americas. The apicomplexan protozoan most commonly associated with EPM is Sarcocystis neurona. A direct agglutination test (SAT) was developed to detect antibodies to S. neurona in experimentally infected animals. Merozoites of the SN6 strain of S.

We previously standardized the direct agglutination test (DAT) to detect anti-Leishmania chagasi promastigote antibodies (DAT-LPC) with good sensitivity and specificity for diagnosing visceral leishmaniasis (VL). In this paper, we present a technical upgrade by introducing some modifications into the antigen preparation.

Evaluation of a new direct latex agglutination tube test (UCG-Macrotube) for pregnancy
American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1978A new direct latex agglutination tube test for pregnancy the UCG-Macrotube was compared with the UCG-LYPHO test and the UCG-SLIDE test. 328 urine specimens were evaluated by each test and results were compared with a quantitative gonadotropin assay performed at an independent laboratory. All 3 tests were negative in 136 cases and all were positive in

Direct agglutination test for diagnosis and sero-epidemiological survey of kala-azar in the Sudan
Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 1991132 patients with suspected kala-azar (visceral leishmaniasis) were included in a prospective study to compare the performance of the direct agglutination test (DAT) with smears of lymph node, bone marrow and splenic aspiration. A titre greater than 1:3200 was considered positive.

Spontaneous agglutination of red cells with a positive direct antiglobulin test in various media
Transfusion, 1984Red cells from 475 individuals (donors and patients) with a positive direct antiglobulin test (DAT) (66% were 1/2+ to 1+, 19% were 1 1/2+ to 2+, and 15% were 2 1/2+ or greater) were examined for spontaneous agglutination following incubation in various media.

We evaluated the direct agglutination test (DAT), using freeze-dried (FD) and aqueous (AQ) antigen, and the rK39 immunochromatographic strip test in the diagnosis of Indian visceral leishmaniasis (VL). Sera from 508 subjects (150 parasitologically confirmed patients with VL, 100 and 153 healthy controls drawn from non-endemic and endemic regions ...

Leishmania aethiopica (L.a.) is the main species of Leishmania that causes Ethiopian cutaneous leishmaniasis (ECL). The routine diagnosis of ECL depends on parasitological examination of smear, culture or biopsy. In this study, DAT was set-up and evaluated for its diagnostic performance using defined sera of 45 ECL patients, 18 visceral leishmaniasis ...
