Detección de anticuerpos, antígenos y complejos inmunes circulantes en las fascioliasis aguda y crónica.: Resultados preliminares. Rev Cubana Med Trop [online]. 1998, vol.50, n.3, pp. 209-214.

24 patients with fascioliasis were studied. 19 of them were in the chronic stage and 5 in acute stage. The presence of antigens and of circulating immune complexes (CIC) was detected in 100 % of the patients suffering from acute fascioliasis with less than 30 days of evolution of the clinical symptoms; whereas coproantigens were present in 100 % of the chronic patients. In this group it was observed a considerable number of cases with elevated levels of antibodies. 43.7 % of the cases with CIC were detected by using the precipitation technique with PEG and that of Clq deviation. A highly significant correlation was found between the eggs counting and the CIC levels by both techniques. Another important correlation was established between the eggs counting and the levels of coproantigens.
