Cerebrospinal fluid from 53 patients with clinical evidence of neurocysticercosis and 11 who suffered from several diseases were studied to evaluate the behaviour of indirect immunofluorescence test and some parameters of routine analysis. In neurocysticercosis there were pleocitosis in 88.7% of cases, eosinophilorrachia in 60.3%o, hyperproteinorrachia in 71.7% and hypoglucorrachia in 13.2%. The indirect immunofluorescence test was positive in 19.2% of cases but false-positive results were found when the samples showed xanthochromia or erythrocyte contamination. The authors discuss their results in comparison with those in literature and conclude that the immunofluorescent test is sensitive and useful in diagnosis of neurocysticercosis, except when the interferents previously mentioned are present.

Diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic aspects are interpreted on the basis of two cases of Echinococcus alveolaris. Both patients had undergone partial hepatectomy and were subsequently treated chemotherapeutically. In one case dehydroemetine and mebendazole (Vermox®, Janssen), and in the other case metrifonate (Bilarcil®, Bayer A. G.) were used. The diagnosis of alveococcosis of the liver was demonstrated in one case histologically on the occasion of appendectomy, and in the other case by the indirect immunofluorescence test and passive haemagglutination. In case of suspected alveococcosis these serological tests are imperative, as they are the most reliable methods of demonstrating this disease. The latest trend in therapy aims at a combination of surgery and chemotherapy. Mebendazole seems to be promising as an anthelmintic agent for the treatment of alveococcosis. Remission of the disease was obtained in either case.
