Abstract
The aim of this study was to design the best serologic strategy for diagnosing human alveolar echinococcosis (AE) cases in medical laboratory routine procedures. By combining 2 screening techniques, indirect hemagglutination with Em(2plus)-ELISA and/or recEm18-ELISA, 46 of 47 AE cases were detected. The necessary confirmation of results is then obtained by using immunoblot (LDBIO-IB and/or recEm18-IB).Entities:
