摘要

Strongyloides stercoralis is a parasite that can cause death in immunocompromised people. A proper diagnosis is hence essential. The real-time polymerase-chain reaction (RT-PCR) is a novel, promising diagnostic method, that detects the DNA of the parasite in stool samples. In this retrospective study, we compared the sensitivity of agar plate coproculture (APC), an in-house immunofluorescence test (IFAT) and an in-house RT-PCR for the diagnosis of S. stercoralis infection. The study sample was composed by 223 samples. Samples resulting positive to APC, IFAT and RT-PCR were 20, 140 and 25, respectively. When sensitivity was calculated against a composite reference standard, serology confirmed the best performance (sensitivity 95%), followed by RT-PCR (57%) and APC (45%). In conclusion, in a non-endemic setting, serology is the best screening method, while the combination of APC and RT-PCR does not seem a reasonable approach to increase sensitivity. Both methods can have a role as confirmatory tests for selected cases.

Stercoralis感染的内部RT-PCR。研究样品由223个样品组成。产生阳性至APC,IFAT和RT-PCR的样品分别为20,140和25。当根据复合参考标准计算敏感性时,血清学证实了最佳性能(灵敏度95%),然后是RT-PCR(57%)和APC(45%)。总之,在非特有的环境中,血清学是最好的筛查方法,而APC和RT-PCR的组合似乎并不是一种合理的方法来提高敏感性。两种方法都可以具有作为所选病例的确认测试的作用。
