title: [Cryptococcosis: serodiagnosis by immunoenzymology (ELISA) (author's transl)].
abstract: For the first time ELISA test was applied for the human cryptococcosis serodiagnosis. We have used the somatic and metabolic antigene extracted from culture of Cryptococcus neoformans. It seems that metabolic antigenosis more specific and more actif. For two cryptococcosis conformated cases (9 sera), ELISA test was always and intensely positive and, in one case after curative treatment, we have seen an importante antibodies decrease. If this first results were confirmated, the ELISA test should give some new perspectives for the sero diagnosis of the cryptococcosis and for the survey of the treatment, that was until now in practice unrealizable.
