Abstract

The leading role in the diagnosis of echinococcosis is played by instrumental methods (ultrasound, X-ray examinations, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging), however, immunological methods are no less important for choosing treatment tactics for patients, predicting the development of relapses and assessing the quality of surgical treatment, the effectiveness of anti-relapse and conservative therapy. Currently, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is widely used in the Russian Federation to determine specific immunoglobulins of class G (IgG) to Echinococcus granulosus antigens. The paper presents the results of an analysis of the diagnostic value of ELISA and immunoblotting (IB) for diagnosing echinococcosis and monitoring the effectiveness of treatment. The ELISA method examined 1651 blood serum samples using the Echinococcus-IgG-ELISA-BEST test system (manufactured by Vector-Best, Novosibirsk), 227 samples were also examined using a similar test system for ELISA "HYDATIDOSIS ELISA IgG", manufactured by VIRCELL Spain S.L.U, SantaFe, Granada. 66 ELISA-positive serum samples were examined by immunoblotting. The study was carried out using the Echinococcus IgG Immunoblot kit, produced by EUROIMMUN. The results of the study showed that ELISA with echinococcosis antigen is effective for diagnosing echinococcosis. The imported analogue of the ELISA test system has no advantages over the domestic one. The immunoblotting method showed the best performance for diagnosing echinococcosis.
