Pediatric Neurocysticercosis: Usefulness of Antibody Response in Cysticidal Treatment Follow-Up
Figure 1
(a) Scattergram of absorbance measured by ELISA to detect serum antibody against CSE antigen in children with neurocysticercosis before and after the treatment: from 33 clinically suspected and radiologically proven NCC children, serum samples were collected before and after 3–6 months and 12 months completion of the treatment with albendazole. Antibody response against CSE was measured by using ELISA. Solid line indicates cut-off OD value. (b) Scattergram of absorbance measured by ELISA to detect serum antibody against ES antigen in children with neurocysticercosis before and after the treatment: from 33 clinically suspected and radiologically proven NCC children, serum samples were collected before and after 3–6 months and 12 months completion of the treatment with albendazole. Antibody response against ES was measured by using ELISA. Solid line indicates cut-off OD value. (c) Scattergram of absorbance measured by ELISA to detect serum antibody against LMM antigen in children with neurocysticercosis before and after the treatment: from 33 clinically suspected and radiologically proven NCC children, serum samples were collected before and after 3–6 months and 12 months completion of the treatment with albendazole. Antibody response against LMM was measured by using ELISA. Solid line indicates cut-off OD value.
