[Comparison of circulating antigen detection in schistosomiasis japonica patients using two methods of ELISA].
OBJECTIVE
To compare 2 kinds of ELISA methods for detecting circulating antigen in schistosomiasis patients.


METHODS
Monoclonal antibody-based dot-ELISA and sandwich ELISA.


CONCLUSIONS
The positive rates of dot-ELISA were higher than or similar to those of sandwich ELISA, the former being 48.0%-98.8% and the latter being 12.0%-93.8%. The specificities were 95.4%-100% and 90.0%, respectively.
