Article Synopsis
- The study compared two diagnostic methods, semi-nested PCR and indirect ELISA, for detecting human fasciolosis using 70 serum samples from suspected patients in Iran.
- Results showed that semi-nested PCR had a higher agreement rate (98.4%) compared to indirect ELISA (94.46%), with no false positives from other parasitic infections.
- The findings suggest that semi-nested PCR is a reliable confirmatory method and can be used to monitor patient treatment effectively.
