[Diagnostic value of the inquiry examination method for taeniasis based on the receiver operating characteristic curve].

Résumé fourni par la source

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the value of inquiry examinations for diagnosis of taeniasis in field investigations, so as to provide insights into improving the efficiency and accuracy of taeniasis control programmes. METHODS: worms or proglottids released following diagnostic deworming were subjected to multiplex PCR assay and Sanger sequencing for species identification. RESULTS: infections (6.06%), with one worm in each participant. CONCLUSIONS: proglottids release during inquiry examinations and exclusion of records of individuals receiving deworming during the analysis may improve the value for diagnosis of taeniasis.
