Incazelo enemininingwane
Isifo se-Chagas isifo esithwalwa yizinambuzane, i-zoonotic yi-protozoan T. cruzi, ebangela ukutheleleka kwesistimu yabantu ngokubonakaliswa okunamandla kanye ne-sequelae yesikhathi eside.Kulinganiselwa ukuthi abantu abayizigidi eziyi-16-18 batheleleka emhlabeni wonke, futhi cishe abantu abangama-50,000 bafa unyaka ngamunye ngenxa yesifo esingalapheki se-Chagas (World Health Organization).Ukuhlolwa kwejazi le-Buffy kanye ne-xenodiagnosis esetshenziswa njengezindlela ezivame kakhulu ekuxilongweni kwe-acute T. cruzi infection.Kodwa-ke, zombili izindlela zidla isikhathi noma azinawo uzwela.Muva nje, ukuhlolwa kwe-serological kuba yisisekelo ekuxilongweni kwesifo sikaChagas.Ikakhulukazi, ukuhlola okususelwe kuma-antigen kabusha kuqeda ukusabela okungelona iqiniso okubonakala ngokuvamile ekuhlolweni kwe-antigen yomdabu.I-Chagas Ab Combo Rapid Test ukuhlolwa kwe-antibody esheshayo ethola amasosha omzimba e-IgG i-T. cruzi phakathi nemizuzu engu-15 ngaphandle kwanoma yiziphi izimfuneko zethuluzi.Ngokusebenzisa i-T. cruzi specific recombinant antigen, ukuhlolwa kuzwela kakhulu futhi kucacile.
