Abstract
Effective diagnostic tools are essential in order to combat disease caused by the parasite Entamoeba histolytica . In this study, we compared the commercially available Ridascreen Entamoeba test (R-Biopharm) and the E. histolytica II test (Techlab), and we found that the E. histolytica II test detects E. histolytica infections more accurately.Keywords
