[Diagnosis and treatment of toxoplasmosis by means of radionuclide]. / Diagnóstico y tratamiento de la toxoplasmosis utilizando radionúclidos.

Using antibodies against Toxoplasma gondii labelled with indium-113 metaestable we obtained scan of rats infested with this disease in a simple and harmless way. Also using the same antibodies, but labelled with iodine-131, we destroyed by radiolysis the toxoplasmas of experimental animals with the Medial Lethal Dose obtained "in vitro" experiments. The experimental results are very encouraging and their use in human beings are in currently research in our laboratory and will be the object of a future communication.

[Diagnosis and treatment of trichinosis by means of radionuclide]. / Diagnóstico y tratamiento de la triquinosis utilizando radionúclidos.

Using the same technique that gave such good results in cysticercosis and other parasitic diseases we obtained antibodies labelled against trichinosis and proved their diagnostic value by scan in infected rats. These same antibodies at lethal dose, median, (LD50) radiolysed trichina larvae without damage to the animal. Experimental results are very encouraging and their potential use in human subjects are undergoing research in our laboratory and will be the object of a future report.
