[Immunodiagnostic of liver echinococcosis]

Four immunological reactions of the liver echinococcosis are examined - Complement fixation test (CF), Latex agglutination test (LA), Bentonite agglutination test (BA) and Indirect haemagglutination test (IHA). The diagnostic "potentialities" of every sample are specified separately. IHA has given the best results, followed by LA. BA and CF in last place. The great significance of the immunodiagnostic with regard to diagnose of the disease is demonstrated and its place in the postoperative observation for clarifying of the prediction and for proving of the recidivation. It's obligatory to use several immunological samples, which complement one another. The immunological titers can stay at high rate in every stage of the illness, including during suppuration or partial calcification of the cyst.
