Enzyme immunoassays (EIAs) for the detection of anti-Haemophilus ducreyi serum IgA, IgG, and IgM antibodies Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Chancroid is a risk factor for heterosexually acquiring HIV. Controlling its spread may reduce HIV transmission. GOAL OF THE STUDY: To develop EIAs for assessing antibody levels and for seroepidemiologic studies. STUDY DESIGN: Anti-Haemophilus ducreyi IgA, IgG and IgM EIAs were standardized using a crude cocktail antigen. Evaluation was on sera from Kenya, Rwanda, Thailand and The Gambia. The two-tailed student's t ...

Asymptomatic bacterial colonization is an intermediate step towards sepsis. We conducted a phase-III, double-blind, placebo-controlled randomized trial to determine the impact of giving one oral dose of azithromycin to Gambian women in ...
