Comparison of two serologic methods for the diagnosis of hydatidosis
The sera of 176 patients with epidemiologic antecedents or radiologic and clinical signs of hydatidosis were tested by counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE) and enzyme-linked immunoassay (ELISA). A semipurified antigen from cysts of human origin was used for both techniques. The results were compared w...
