[Indirect micro-haemagglutination method with duck erythrocytes for the diagnosis of hydatid disease (author's transl)].

The AA. have compared the results obtained with a indirect micro-haemagglutination method with sheep erythrocytes with those obtained with the indirect micro-haemagglutination method with duck erythrocytes for the diagnosis of hydatid disease. The results obtained with the two methods were not different and there was a good correlation between both methods. The direct micro-haemagglutination method with duck erythrocytes appears to be a valid alternative of the method with sheep erythrocytes.
