Screening of serum antibody to symptomatic and asymptomatic pa- tients with Hymenolepis nana
Hymenolepis nana is a common parasitic disease that spreads mainly to children.The present study aims to circulate anti-parasite antibody responses against H.nanain the symptomatic and asymptomatic IN children with assured hymenolepiasisexamined in Al-Najaf province. Symptomatic patients were explicitly used as fol-lows: the existence of H.nana eggs in the feces with more symptoms such as diar-rhea, abdominal pain, losing weight, flatulency, appetite loss, and nausea. Anti-parasite of the humoral immune response had been measured using indirect immu-nofluorescence (IFA) and ELISA. A significant disparity was noticed in the anti-parasite antibody response when measuring the IFA of the asymptomatic andsymptomatic patients. Over 37% of asymptomatic patients had a titer of 1:500 orlower, and more than 28% of symptomatic patients had a titer of 1:8000 or higher.When measured by ELISA, the circulation of anti-parasite overall IgM and IgA issignificantly higher in symptomatic than asymptomatic patients, as regarding up-per egg production showed in the symptomatic people (PDF) Screening of serum antibody to symptomatic and asymptomatic pa- tients with Hymenolepis nana.
