ABSTRACT
Objective: To determine the diagnostic value of the test of Immunoblot
using hydatid antigen coming from human and to compare it with the bovine
and ovine antigen.
Methods: 40 patients were studied with hydatid disease
confirmed surgically, 20 patients with other illnesses and 20 healthy
patients. To each patient they were carried out the test of Immunoblot
using hydatid antigen coming from human hepatic cyst, likewise with
hydatid antigen coming from bovine and ovine pool.
Results:
The sensibility, specificity, Positive Predictive Value and
Negative predictive value of the test of Immunoblot using antigen
from Human fluid with the band of 38 KDa was of 88, 75, 78 and 100%,
bovine antigen with the band of 38 KDa was of 75, 100, 100, 100% and
ovine antigen with the band of 21-31 KDa was of 95, 95, 95 and 100%
respectively.
Conclusion: The test of Immunoblot using hydatid antigen
coming from human presents smaller diagnostic value that using bovine
and ovine antigen.
