Diagnostic Accuracy of Five Serologic Tests for Strongyloides stercoralis Infection [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 Background:The diagnosis of Strongyloides stercoralis (S. stercoralis) infection is hampered by the suboptimal sensitivity of fecal-based tests. Serological methods are believed to be more sensitive, although assessing their accuracy is difficult because
