Use of the ELISA (Em2-Em18) and Western Blotting Methods on Diagnosis of Alveolar Echinococcosis.

Objective: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is one of the most lethal parasitic zoonoses in the Northern Hemisphere, and early serological detection is important to start treatment and to improve survival. A total of 50 sera samples of patients diagnosed as having various diseases were examined for by two different serological diagnostic methods.

Methods: Em2-Em18 ELISA (Bordier Affinity Products, Crissier, Switzerland) and Echinococcus Western Blot immünoglobulin G (IgG) (LDBIO Diagnostics, Lyon, France) were used for analyisis.
