Abstract
Schistosomiasis haematobium is a serious public health problem in Egypt. Detection of S. haematobium antigens is a better immunodiagnostic tool than determination of the antibody level. We developed a novel immunomagnetic bead ELISA based on IgG for detection of CL antigen in sera and urine of patients infected with S. haematobium. Detection of CL Ag in serum using IMB-ELISA gave a sensitivity of 95%, a specificity of 93.3% compared to other parasitic infections group and 100% compared to healthy control group. While, detecting the same Ag in serum using sandwich ELISA gave a sensitivity of 85%, a specificity of 88.3% compared to other parasitic infections group and 100% compared to healthy control group. On the other hand, Detection of CL Ag in urine using IMB-ELISA gave a sensitivity of 91.6%, a specificity of 93.4 % compared to other parasitic infections group and 100% compared to healthy control group. While, detecting the same Ag in urine using sandwich ELISA gave a sensitivity of 83.3 %, a specificity of 81.8 % compared to other parasitic infections group and 100% compared to healthy control group
