Total IgG, IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgA and IgM specific antibodies against Angiostrongylus cantonensis somatic antigen were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in sera from proven human angiostrongyliasis (PA) cases, clinically suspected angiostrongyliasis cases with eosinophilic meningitis (EM) and healthy control (HC). The specific IgA antibody in each of the patient groups was significantly higher than those of the HC group (p < 0.05). The mean ELISA value of the specific IgM in the PA group was not significantly different from that of the HC group (p > 0.05). However, the mean specific IgM ELISA value in the EM group was significantly higher than that of the HC group (p < 0.05). The levels of the specific IgG and IgG subclasses in both patient groups were significantly higher than in the healthy control (HC) group (p < 0.001). Major differences were evident in the distribution of the IgG subclass antibodies between the patient groups. The IgG1 antibody demonstrated the highest sensitivity and specificity while the IgM and IgA responses were generally poor in both patient groups. The levels of the specific IgG antibody subclasses possibly explain immune responses to the parasite.
