[The efficiency of the serological reactions with Trichinella spiralis somatic antigen in the diagnosis of human trichinelliasis caused by infection with natural and synanthropic Trichinella isolates].
The efficiency of serological tests (enzyme immuno-assay (EIA) and indirect hemagglutination test (IHAT)) using the antigen T.spiralis was examined on 318 sera from trichinosis patients infected via pork meat and on 112 sera from those infected via wild animal meat. This was estimated at 85.6 and 84.8% with EIA and 93.0 and 85.7% with IHAT in the two groups, respectively. To enhance the efficiency of serological diagnosis of trichinosis, it is recommended that EIA and IHAT should be used concurrently.
