Specific IgG avidity in active and inactive human neurocysticercosis

Abstract IgG avidity determination in serum samples was investigated to distinguish active and inactive human neurocysticercosis (NC). High avidity index (>70%) was found in 23.5% of cases in active group and 67.9% in inactive group ( P = 0.0058). We reported for the first time that IgG avidity a...

Description
Summary:Abstract IgG avidity determination in serum samples was investigated to distinguish active and inactive human neurocysticercosis (NC). High avidity index (>70%) was found in 23.5% of cases in active group and 67.9% in inactive group ( P = 0.0058). We reported for the first time that IgG avidity assay may distinguish active from inactive NC.
