  • Title: On the specificity of the indirect haemagglutination in diagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis.
    Author: Morsy TA, Ahmed MM, Younis TA, Arafa MM.
    Journal: J Egypt Soc Parasitol; 1990 Jun; 20(1):231-4. PubMed ID: 2332651.
    Abstract:
    Human sera were collected from parasitologically proven cases of filariasis, strongyloidiasis, hymenolepiasis and ascariasis. Antibodies against these parasites cross react in the indirect haemagglutination for the antileishmanial antibodies at dilution up to 1:128. The diagnostic titer should be raised to 256 in order to increase the specificity of the test in areas where such parasites occur.
