Entamoeba histolytica and Entamoeba dispar: differentiation by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbet Assay (ELISA) and its clinical correlation in pediatric patients

Studies were carried out at a mexican pediatric hospital to determine the ratio between the pathogenic species Entamoeba histolytica and non-pathogenic species E. dispar using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to detect the lectin (1 galactose N-acetyl D-galactosamine) of E. histolytica i...
