Comparison of ELISA and Urine Microscopy for Diagnosis of<i>Schistosoma haematobium</i>Infection

Abstract

We have established in-house ELISA for screening serum immunoglobulin (Ig) G antibodies by employing soluble egg antigen of <i>S. haematobium</i> for diagnosis of UGS with 94.8% sensitivity and 29.7% specificity. The ELISA system can supplement the conventional diagnosis by UM.
