title: [Serologic diagnosis of hydatidosis. 235 cases].
abstract: 229 hydatidosis and 6 multivesicular echinococcosis have been studied by hemagglutination test (HA) and immunoelectro-diffusion test (IED).
  
  
  RESULTS
  hepatic hydatidosis: 177 patients. The HA test is positive in 82%, IED test is positive in 92%. Pulmonary hydatidosis: 46 patients (20%). The HA test is positive in 61,5% and IED test is positive in 80%. HA and IED tests are negatives in 6 patients. The others localisations are: hepato-pulmonary hydatidosis, 28 patients, cerebral hydatidosis, 10 patients, splenic or renal hydatidosis, 8 patients, osseous hydatidosis, 5 patients, cardiac hydatidosis, 3 patients, ocular hydatidosis, 2 patients and pancreatic or muscular hydatidosis, 1 patient. The negativation or the decrease of antibodies after treatment in 38 patients are obtained in 2 or 3 years. An increase of antibodies take place in case of relapse.
