AB  - The diagnostic significance of elevated hydatid-specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) 
      as measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was evaluated against 
      hydatid-specific IgG ELISA and Casoni's intradermal test in surgically proven 
      cases of hydatidosis. A specific IgE ELISA did not correlate with IgG ELISA or 
      Casoni's intradermal test, although its recorded sensitivity was 87%. The 
      specific IgE ELISA was at the same time false-positive in 57.14% of the cases 
      because of its cross-reactions with cases of ascariasis and taeniasis, unlike 
      Casoni's intradermal test and specific IgG ELISA. It is suggested that, in a 
      helminth-infested population, the determination of specific IgE levels is not 
      better than Casoni's intradermal or specific IgG ELISA tests.
