A universally applicable diagnostic approach to filarial and other infections.

T B Nutman¹, P A Zimmerman, J Kubofcik, D D Kostyu.

Abstract

Antibody-based assays for the diagnosis of filarial and other infections cannot reliably distinguish between past and current infection, nor can they be used to assess the efficacy of chemotherapy. In this article, Thomas Nutmon, Peter Zimmerman, Joseph Kubofcik and Donna Kostyu discuss how the detection of parasite-specific PCR products using on ELISA-based assay may overcome these problems.
