  • Title: Schistosomiasis mansoni: immunodiagnosis aspects and search for an immunological marker related to therapeutic efficacy.
    Author: Kanamura HY, Hoshino-Shimizu S, Lima DM, Abrantes CP, da Silva LC.
    Journal: Mem Inst Oswaldo Cruz; 1987; 82 Suppl 4():217-8. PubMed ID: 3151095.
    Abstract:
    The recent findings on immunodiagnosis of schistosomiasis mansoni have shown that purified Schistosoma mansoni antigens do not provide maximum positivity. Therefore, the authors suggest the use of semi-purified antigens for diagnostic purposes. So far, no serological marker for cured patients as shown by negative stool examination was found. However, a tendency of IgG antibody titre decrease was observed, when egg antigen was used.
