Abstract

Two established immunodiagnostic techniques, immunofluorescence and indirect haemagglutination, were compared with ELISA (enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) using intact promastigotes as antigen for the detection of specific antibodies against Leishmania in the serum of patients with visceral or mucosal leishmaniasis from the Sudan. The ELISA was found to be more sensitive and more specific than either of the other two tests.
