Inkcazo eneenkcukacha
I-lymphatic filariasis eyaziwa ngokuba yi-Elephantiasis, ngokuyintloko ebangelwa ngu-W. bancrofti no-B. malayi, ichaphazela abantu abamalunga ne-120 lezigidi kumazwe angaphezu kwama-80.Esi sifo sidluliselwa ebantwini ngokulunywa ziingcongconi ezosulelekileyo apho imicroflariae efunxayo kumntu owosulelekileyo ikhula ibe yimibungu yenqanaba lesithathu.Ngokuqhelekileyo, ukubonakaliswa okuphindaphindiweyo kunye nexesha elide kwimibungu esulelekileyo kuyafuneka ukuze kusekwe usulelo lomntu.Uxilongo oluchanekileyo lweparasitologic lubonakaliso lwemicroflariae kwiisampulu zegazi.Nangona kunjalo, olu vavanyo lomgangatho wegolide luthintelwe yimfuno yokuqokelela igazi ebusuku kunye nokungabikho kovakalelo olwaneleyo.Ukufunyanwa kwee-antigens ezijikelezayo kufumaneka ngokurhweba.Ukusetyenziswa kwayo kulinganiselwe kwi-W. bancrofti.Ukongeza, i-microfilaremia kunye ne-antigenemia zikhula ukusuka kwiinyanga ukuya kwiminyaka emva kokuvezwa.Ukufunyanwa kwe-antibody kunika iindlela zakwangoko zokubona usulelo lwe-filarial parasite.Ubukho be-IgM kwi-antigens ye-parasite bucebisa usulelo lwangoku, ngelixa, i-IgG ihambelana nenqanaba losulelo lwasemva kwexesha okanye usulelo oludlulileyo.Ngaphaya koko, ukuchongwa kwee-antigens ezigciniweyo kuvumela uvavanyo lwe-'pan-filaria' ukuba lusebenze.Ukusetyenziswa kweeprotheyini ezidibeneyo kuphelisa ukuhlangana kwabantu abanezinye izifo ze-parasitic.I-Filariasis ye-IgG/IgM Combo Rapid Test isebenzisa ii-antigens ze-recombinant ezigciniweyo ukuze zibone ngaxeshanye i-IgG kunye ne-IgM kwi-W. bancrofti kunye ne-B. malayi parasites ngaphandle kokuthintelwa ekuqokeleleni i-specimen.
