study of acute trichinosis in ghurkas: specificity and sensitivity of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays for igm and ige antibodies to trichinella larval antigens in diagnosis.	the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (elisa) was successfully applied to detect ige antibodies against parasitic antigens by using an additional antibody layer to attain an amplification effect. the sera of 18 gurkha patients with clinical manifestations of acute trichinosis and 35 chinese with other parasitic infections were tested for antibodies to trichinella spiralis by ige-, igm- and igg-elisa, igg-radioimmunoassay (ria) and indirect haemagglutination test (iha). elisas for detection of ig ...	1983	6623599
the first documented outbreak of trichinellosis in hong kong chinese.	an outbreak of trichinellosis occurred in a chinese family after the ingestion of inadequately cooked pork. diagnosis was established by the demonstration of antibodies against trichinella spiralis larval antigen by crossed immunoelectrophoresis and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, and living larvae in muscle biopsy. the main presenting symptom of these patients was pyrexia. typical clinical features of trichinella infection such as periorbital edema and severe myalgia were either minimal or ...	1983	6881424
