The aim of the work was to detect a diagnostic value of CNSToxoIndex - index of correlation between albumin concentration and anti-toxoplasma antibodies, which reflects local production of anti-toxoplasma IgG in CNS compared with their level in OBJECTIVE
To document Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii) antibody status in patients with liver disease, blood samples were taken from 180 hepatic patients and 180 healthy controls.
METHODS
Toxoplasma IgG antibody was detected using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and histopathological assessment of
Immunoglobulin levels in 47 children (age 13-20 years) with toxoplasmosis were compared with 46 age and sex matched controls. No significant difference was observed in mean serum immunoglobulin (IgG, IgA, IgM) levels between patients and controls but mean IgM levels were significantly (P) higher in
Studies of congenital toxoplasmosis in twins confirm the definite role of the placenta in the modalities and mechanism of fetal contamination. In single-chorion twin pregnancies, clinical manifestations are generally identical in both infants. Conversely, twins from double-chorion pregnancies
The pathologic links between Toxoplasma gondii infections and renal diseases have not yet been established. Gamma interferon (IFN-gamma) and Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are involved in the host defense mechanism against T. gondii infection. The role of IFN-gamma and TLRs in renal function of T.
Background: Free-ranging chickens are often infected with Toxoplasma gondii and seroconvert upon infection. This indicates environmental contamination with T. gondii.
Methods:
OBJECTIVE
To establish an immunosorbent agglutination assay (ISAGA) for detection of IgM antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii.
METHODS
In the ISAGA, wells of microtiter plates were coated with anti-human IgM antibodies and sealed with 1% bovine serum albumin. After the test sera were added and
It is important but sometimes difficult to establish a diagnosis of toxoplasma encephalitis (TE) in an HIV-positive immunodeficient patient. The most promising non-invasive method is polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for Toxoplasma gondii in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). In a retrospective study PCR was
The purpose of this study was to detect the antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii in Royal Bengal tigers (Panthera tigris tigris), Asiatic lions (Panthera leo persica), leopards (Panthera pardus), and elephants (Elephas maximus indicus) residing in the Mahendra Chaudhury Zoological Park, in Chhatbir,
A micro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay utilizing antigen dotted onto nitrocellulose filter discs (Dot-ELISA) was developed for the rapid diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis. Leishmania donovani promastigotes applied to filter discs in volumes of 1 microliter were placed in 96-well microtiter
14 patients in advanced stages of HIV infection (1 ARC, 13 AIDS; sex: 1 female, 13 male; age 37.8 +/- 6.3 years; body mass index (BMI): 17.4 +/- 2.4 kg/m(2)) were followed prospectively while receiving home enteral nutrition (observation period: 62 +/- 75 days). Artificial nutrition was indicated
BACKGROUND
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection predisposes to various opportunistic infections like tuberculosis, Pneumocystis carinii (P. carinii) pneumonia, toxoplasmosis and fungal infections. Naso-gastric aspirate (NGA) is utilized to demonstrate acid-fast-bacilli (AFB); similarly P.
We report a novel strategy, called end-product (EP) amplification, capable of enhancing the sensitivity of immunohistochemical procedures by about an order of magnitude or more. The strategy employs an antibody (anti-EP) to the product generated by the action of horseradish peroxidase on
In eight patients with clinical sure Vogt-Koyanagi Harada-syndrome (VKHS) immunological examinations were performed. We tested whether there were signs of former or present infections (measles HHT and complement fixation test (C.F.T.), rubella HHT, hepatitis HBs-antigen, adenovirus AG,
