title: [Biological diagnosis of echinococcosis].
abstract: The authors review the laboratory techniques used for diagnosis of echinococcosis (IFL, IHA, IEP, ES, ELISA) with emphasis on the value and standardization of the antigens utilized. The specificity of these tests makes it possible to differentiate hydatidosis from alveolar hydatid disease.
