[Optimization of serological diagnosis of cystic echinococcosus (granulosus) infection]

The diagnostic effectiveness of instrumental analysis of the concentration of specific antibodies, which was expressed in antibody units and titers, was compared in the test system of enzyme immunoassay using Echinococcus granulosus on 76 serum samples from patients with echinococcosis. The factors of possible influence on the instrumental readings of enzyme immunoassay are presented. A correlation was found in the specific antibody concentrations expressed in antibody units and titers.
