Inkcazo eneenkcukacha
Ikwahlulwe ngokuxilongwa kwe-pathogen kunye nokuxilongwa kwe-immune.Olokuqala lubandakanya ukuhlolwa kwe-microfilaria kunye neentshulube zabantu abadala ukusuka kwigazi le-peripheral, i-chyluria kunye nesicatshulwa;Le yokugqibela kukubona ii-antibodies ze-filarial kunye ne-antigens kwi-serum.
I-Immunodiagnosis ingasetyenziswa njengoxilongo oluncedisayo.
⑴ Uvavanyo lwe-Intradermal: alunakusetyenziswa njengesiseko soxilongo lwezigulane, kodwa lunokusetyenziselwa uphando lwe-epidemiological.
⑵ Ukufunyanwa kwe-antibody: Zininzi iindlela zovavanyo.Okwangoku, uvavanyo lwe-antibody lwe-fluorescent olungathanga ngqo (IFAT), uvavanyo lwe-immunoenzyme staining (IEST) kunye ne-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) ye-antigens enyibilikayo ye-filarial worm yabantu abadala okanye i-microfilaria malayi inovakalelo oluphezulu kunye neenkcukacha.
⑶ Ukufunyanwa kwe-Antigen: Kwiminyaka yakutshanje, uphando lovavanyo lokulungiswa kwe-monoclonal antibodies ngokuchasene ne-filarial antigens ukukhangela ii-antigens ezijikelezayo ze-B. bancrofti kunye ne-B. malayi ngokulandelelana nge-ELISA indlela ye-antibody ephindwe kabini kunye ne-dot ELISA yenze inkqubela phambili yokuqala.
