ABSTRACT
Counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIEP) was evaluated in comparison to the indirect haemagglutination test (IHA) for serodiagnosis of human cysticercosis. It was found that CIEP detected antibodies in 7 of 11 (64%) and IHA detected them in 6 of 11 (55%) confirmed cysticercosis sera. Only 2 of 130 control sera were positive by each technique. Taenia saginata adult worm extract was found to be satisfactory for use in CIEP in place of Taenia solium cysticercus extract, with only little loss of sensitivity. Finally, CIEP in combination with IHA greatly increased the diagnostic sensitivity for human cysticercosis.
