Echinococcosis is a chronic ongoing helminthosis with multiple organ cysts, affecting humans and animals. PURPOSE: of this study is to develop, standardize and evaluate immunological tests for the confirmatory diagnosis of echinococcosis and to study seropositivity and latent infection by immunoscreen for diagnosis because of the latent course and the late manifestations of clinical symptoms. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 107 of the surgical children (91.45%), to 2018 years we performed a serological control roll of echinococcus. Any liquid that has been studied for fertility. There are three possible approaches for screening for Echinococcosis in humans: 1) Serological test and confirmation of seropositive imaging methods; 2) Imaging (ultrasound, X-ray) and subsequent immunological examination of patients with cysts; 3) Simultaneous application of imaging and immunological methods Serums from persons examined by immunoscreen. RESULTS: IgG demonstrates the presence of specific antibodies against Echinococcus granulosus in the patient's serum. CONCLUSIONS Mass immuno-screening was performed in conjunction with the medical unit’s parasitology.
