Hepatic CE should not been ignored in Heilongjiang province.
- •
This study is the first report of hepatic CE in Heilongjiang province in the last 10 years.
- •
The Bayesian analysis was used to estimate test performance (sensitivity and specificity) and the prevalence of hepatic CE.
- •
The sensitivity and specificity of both US and ELISA were found to be high, and the predicted prevalence in outpatients was between 14 and 22%.
- •
Serological methods could be a useful screening/surveillance tool amongst clinically suspected individuals.
