An effective indirect fluorescent antibody test for diagnosis of intestinal acariasis. The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Medicine and Public Health. 2006 May; 37(3): 452-5http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/35159The Southeast Asian Journal of Tropical Medicine and Public Health.Adult mites' bodies of Dermatophagoides farinae were used as antigen in an indirect fluorescent antibody test (IFAT) to detect mite-specific IgG in sera of 48 patients with intestinal acariasis based on stool examination. Antibody titers with positive reaction ranged from 1:4 to 1:512 in 48 patients with intestinal acariasis. If antibody titers > or = 1:16 is regarded as being positive, the positive rate of patients detected with IFAT was 92%.engAnimalsCase-Control StudiesFeces --parasitologyFemaleFluorescent Antibody Technique, Indirect --methodsHumansIntestinal Diseases, Parasitic --diagnosisMaleMite Infestations --diagnosisMites --classificationClinical Trial
