Hydatidosis is not rare in France and often poses diagnostic problems to practitioners. In addition to classical clinical and radiological data, immunological methods provide at the present time reliable means of confirming the diagnosis and conducting post-therapeutic surveillance. After a brief epidemiological and clinical review, the authors review the different laboratory techniques available and report their experience involving 139 cases collected over a period of 2 years. Emphasis is placed upon the relatively high prevalence of the disease amongst immigrant workers, as oppossed to the rare cases seen in the native population, as well as the value of immunoelectrophoresis and conditioned haemagglutination reactions. New therapeutic possibilities offered by mebendazole and its derivatives are indicated.
包虫病在法国并不罕见，常常给从业者带来诊断难题。除了经典的临床和放射学数据外，免疫方法目前为确诊及治疗后监测提供了可靠手段。在进行简短的流行病学和临床回顾后，作者回顾了现有的不同实验室技术，并报告了他们在两年时间里收集的139例病例的经验。重点强调了该病在移民工人中相对较高的患病率，这与在本地人口中罕见的病例形成对比，以及免疫电泳和间接血凝反应的价值。文中还指出了甲苯咪唑及其衍生物带来的新的治疗可能性。
