用间接荧光抗体试验检查肝脓液中溶组织阿米巴滋养体

DETECTION OF ENTAMOEBA HISTOLYTICA TROPHOZOITES IN LIVER PUS BY THE INDIRECT FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TEST FOR THE AETIOLOGICAL DIAGNOSIS OF AMOEBIC LIVER ABSCESS

在我国,阿米巴肝脓肿仍相当常见。由于用常规显微镜检查方法检查肝脓液中溶组织阿米巴滋养体的检出率低,因此常只能根据有关的流行病学资料、临床表现、实验室检查。

The indirect fluorescent antibody test was used to detect trophozoites of Entamoeba histolytica in liver pus aspirated from patients with amoebic liver abscess. The test can be carried out Within two hours. Trophozoutes with fluorescence were observed in 15 of the 16 patients with amoebic liver abscess who were studied. Cells with fluorescence were not found in any negative control specimens from patients with bacterial liver abscess, primary liver cancer or liver cyst. These results indicate that this sensitive, specific and rapid test is very useful in aetiological diagnosis of amoebic liver abscess.
