Saliva from subjects with amebic liver abscess (ALA), acute amebic colitis, asymptomatic infection withEntamoeba histolyticaorEntamoeba dispar, and uninfected controls was tested by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the presence ofE. histolyticagalactose-inhibitable lectin antigen and salivary immunoglobulin (IgG) antibodies to a recombinant cysteine-rich lectin-derived protein (LC3). Salivary lectin antigen was found in 65.8% of subjects with acute colitis, compared to 22.2% of those convalescent from ALA, 10.0% with asymptomaticE. histolyticainfection, 9.8% withE. disparinfection, and 2.6% of controls (subjects from the United States and study patients with nonamebic diarrhea) (P< 0.001 for each compared to values for subjects with colitis). Salivary anti-LC3 IgG antibodies were found in 92% of ALA patients regardless of duration of illness and in 83.3% of colitis patients who were symptomatic for at least 7 days (P< 0.001 compared to other study groups). Serum anti-LC3 IgG antibodies were detected in 56.3% of subjects with acute colitis, 100% of subjects with ALA or prolonged colitis, 45% of subjects with asymptomaticE. histolyticainfection, 32.3% of subjects withE. disparinfection, and 23.4% of diarrhea controls. In comparison to ELISA for serum anti-LC3 IgG antibodies, the salivary lectin antigen assay is a more sensitive and specific test for acute amebic colitis. Detection of salivary anti-LC3 IgG antibodies by ELISA is an effective means for the diagnosis of ALA and prolonged cases of amebic colitis.
