Summary Latex suspensions coated with scolex extracts give sensitive and specific serum reactions in hydatid disease. Fractions from hydatid fluid, containing crude polysaccharide, react with antibody in the sera from proven cases as demonstrated by latex agglutination and complement fixation techniques, but not by the indirect haemagglutination test.
