[Use of an enzyme immunoassay test system with cystic Echinococcus antigen to diagnose echinococcosis alveolaris (multilocularis) (alveococcosis)].

Twenty-three serum samples from 12 patients with Echinococcus alveolaris collected 1 to 12 years after surgery and 1--13 courses of specific therapy were used to evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness of an enzyme immunoassay (EIA) test system with cystic Echinococcus antigen. The findings enable the EIA test system with cystic Echinococcus antigen to be recommended for the diagnosis of Echinococcosis alveolaris and for the monitoring of its treatment results.
