Abstract

167 sera have been tested to appreciate the value of an indirect hemagglutination test (Amibiase HAI FUMOUZE) comparatively to an agglutination test of sensibilized particles of latex (Bichro latex Amibe Fumouze BLA) Amibiase HAI test comes out as sensitive and specific for the detection of antibodies in patients suffering from visceral amoebiasis. But some antibodies are also detected in patients with an antecedent of amoebiasis, as it is usually the case with some other techniques. A high positivity of the indirect hemagglutination test, and the concordance between the test HAI and the BLA one are in favour of a visceral amoebiasis. While lower rates or discrepancy between the two tests may evoke an hidden infestation in patients coming out or originated from endemic zones.
