[Value of the indirect immunoperoxidase reaction in the sero-diagnosis of amebiasis].
The number of our findings is still to small to draw definite conclusions. They however show that this technique is very sensitive and highly specific for the diagnostic of tissular amebiasis. Moreover, it significantly reduces the reading difficulty, because the morphologic differences between ameba and the other elements of the antigen is easy to see. The other advantages of the method are: the use of usual optic microscope, which allows the serologic diagnostic in moderatly fitted out laboratories, the use of electron microscope which allows the study of internal structure of the parasite, the preservation of the slides for several months, permitting therefore comparative studies.
