“…Serological tests, such as indirect hemagglutination assay (IHA), latex agglutination, indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA), or enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), play important role in the diagnosis of ALA [9] Serological examination (IgG) has a high sensitivity. However, in endemic areas with repeated exposure to E. histolytica, a definitive diagnosis of ALA based on the high IgG titer is challenging because it cannot distinguish acute amebiasis from long-standing amoeba infections [1,8,9]. Detection of Gal/GalNac E. histolytica antigen in the serum had a sensitivity of >95% and a specificity of 100% for diagnosing ALA.…”
