title: [Human basophil degranulation test in the diagnosis of anguilluliasis. Preliminary results].
abstract: The human basophil degranulation test was applied to the diagnosis of strongyloidiasis. The preliminary results show an excellent response. 33 of the 35 cases give a definite positive result and in the 15 control cases, with no parasitosis or an other helminthiasis, the test was negative. If these results are confirmed by a more important study of sensitivity and specificity, the test would be of interest when the parasitosis is of difficult evidence and especially by patients needing immunodepressive therapy.
