title: [Indirect immunoperoxidase technic in the biological diagnosis of human parasitic disease].
abstract: Two serological techniques, immunoperoxidase (IP) and immunofluorescence (IFI), were used for the detection of specific antibodies in 60 sera from patients with schistosomiasis, in 44 sera from patients with hydatidosis, and 28 sera from patients with intestinal amebiasis or liver amebic abscess. The IP test correlated well with IFI. The advantage of IP technique compared to IFI are that it is more rapid, less laborious and is performed without technical equipment.
