Positive Results

Cerebrospinal fluid from 53 patients with clinical evidence of neurocysticercosis and 11 who suffered from several diseases were studied to evaluate the behaviour of indirect immunofluorescence test and some parameters of routine analysis. In neurocysticercosis there were pleocitosis in 88.7% of cases, eosinophilorrachia in 60.3%o, hyperproteinorrachia in 71.7% and hypoglucorrachia in 13.2%. The indirect immunofluorescence test was positive in 19.2% of cases but false-positive results were found when the samples showed xanthochromia or erythrocyte contamination. The authors discuss their results in comparison with those in literature and conclude that the immunofluorescent test is sensitive and useful in diagnosis of neurocysticercosis, except when the interferents previously mentioned are present.

Reliable Methods

Diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic aspects are interpreted on the basis of two cases of Echinococcus alveolaris. Both patients had undergone partial hepatectomy and were subsequently treated chemotherapeutically. In one case dehydroemetine and mebendazole (Vermox®, Janssen), and in the other case metrifonate (Bilarcil®, Bayer A. G.) were used. The diagnosis of alveococcosis of the liver was demonstrated in one case histologically on the occasion of appendectomy, and in the other case by the indirect immunofluorescence test and passive haemagglutination. In case of suspected alveococcosis these serological tests are imperative, as they are the most reliable methods of demonstrating this disease. The latest trend in therapy aims at a combination of surgery and chemotherapy. Mebendazole seems to be promising as an anthelmintic agent for the treatment of alveococcosis. Remission of the disease was obtained in either case.

Spontaneous Infection

Spontaneous infection with Encephalitozoon cuniculi resulted in a lethal disease in all but one of a litter of puppies in Texas. The disease was characterized by severe nonsuppurative nephritis, encephalitis and segmental vasculitis. Many protozoa were in renal tubule cells, endothelial cells and brain. The number of organisms decreased and the granulomatous character of the lesions became more prominent as the disease progressed. Sera from affected puppies and their parents reacted in an indirect immunofluorescence test with canine E. cuniculi propagated in vitro. The sera of owners of affected pups were negative.

Specialized Equipment

Rabbit antibodies against Encephalitozoon cuniculi were detected in an enzyme immunoassay procedure in which antigen was grown and used in situ. The test appeared to be more sensitive than the indirect immunofluorescence test with which it was compared, but gave essentially the same results for the 64 sera evaluated. This procedure will allow any laboratory with cell-culture facilities to produce a diagnostic antigen without the need for antigen processing. It is simple and reliable, and does not require specialized equipment or microscopic assessment.
