A Precipitation Reaction for the Diagnosis of Cysticercosis

One of 22 prepared antigens of Cysticercus cellulosae was selected and tested with the sera of 39 pigs with cysticercosis, 50 normal pigs, 1108 unselected human sera, 1043 unselected spinal fluids and 9 spinal fluids from human cases of cysticercosis. The reaction was sensitive; it did not give cross reactions in various parasitoses including taeniasis, or in neurosyphilis. Antigen from Cysticercus cellulosae gave a positive reaction in all tested cases of cysticercosis cellulosae, and antigen from C. racemosus in all tested cases of cysticercosis racemosus. It will be useful to continue its evaluation in proven cases of human cysticercosis.
