The follow-up of patients with cystic echinococcosis (CE) offers the opportunity of evaluating the prognosis of the infection as well as detecting relapse. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of the new multiepitope recombinant peptide (recDipol) antigen in the follow-up of CE patients treated by surgery or percutaneous aspiration injection respiration.
