NCT ID NCT07296198
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at three different blood tests (ELISA) for diagnosing strongyloidiasis, an infection caused by a parasite that can stay hidden in the body. Researchers tested 80 adult patients who had previously had a positive or borderline result. The goal was to see which test is most accurate, especially for people who may need organ transplants or have weak immune systems.
