Measuring the Change in Zinc Ion Concentration in Eye Tear Fluid between Healthy and Parasite Infected Individuals: Relationship between Zinc Ions in Tear Fluid and Parasitic Infection by Soil-Transmitted Helminths

Journal of Medical Diagnostic Methods, 2016
Infection by soil-transmitted helminths has been correlated with lowered concentration of zinc ions in serum. This study investigated the relationship between changes in zinc ion concentration in tear fluid for healthy versus parasitic infected individuals. The study used a serodiagnosis method to determine the presence of parasite infection.
