[Serological diagnosis of hydatid disease with indirect immunoperoxidase and immunofluorescence methods (author's transl)].
Indirect immunoperoxidase (IP) method is compared with indirect immunofluorescence (IFI) in 44 cases of active hydatidosis established at operation (30 cysts of the liver, 9 cysts of the lung and 5 extra-hepatic and extra-pulmonary cysts). The sensitivities of the IP and IFI tests were 88.6% and 63.6%, respectively. The IP test is easy, specific and very sensitive.
