RIHA serological and epidemiological survey for toxocariasis in 4765 inhabitants of various districts of the Baku agglomeration has been performed. Positivity rate in the town settlements was 12.5% versus 2.8 +/- 0.5% in the central Baku. The risk groups were identified according to the population's behavior that determines the contact with environmental objects. The highest seropositive rates (10.1 and 9.7%) were found in children aged 4-7 and 8-11 years, respectively and that (6.5%) in females aged 31 to 60 years.

Strongyloidiasis is a parasitic nematode infection mainly caused by Strongyloides stercoralis. Immunocompromised conditions, particularly cancer patients treated with chemotherapy and corticosteroids, have a significant risk of developing Strongyloides hyperinfection. The lack of a gold standard laboratory method to rule out this infection and the insensitivity of microscopic stool examination due to low and intermittent larvae output in stool contribute to the low detection rate of this infection.

Background: Autoimmune bullous disorder (AIBD) is a diverse group of blistering dermatoses that affects the skin and mucous membrane, characterized by the formation of autoantibodies against the desmosomal glycoproteins and adhesion molecular components of the basement membrane zone. Various immunoassay techniques for serological diagnosis are Direct Immunofluorescence (DIF), Indirect Immunofluorescence (IIF), Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) and immunoblotting. Quantitative ELISA titer can also be used to monitor the disease activity and response to treatment.
