Abstract
The sensitivity of the indirect haemagglutination test for the diagnosis of hydatid disease, although high, is insufficient. Agar gel diffusion tests for the diagnosis of this disease have not received much attention in the past and have been considered unsatisfactory. The authors propose such a test and evaluate its results in comparison with those of the indirect haemagglutination test.
