Hydatid cyst (CH) is one of the important zoonotic infections in the world and in our country. In this study; cyst fluids taken by percutaneous aspiration from the interventional radiology department with a preliminary diagnosis of CH were evaluated by direct microscopic examination in Eskişehir Osmangazi University Medical Faculty of Microbiology Laboratory. After the evaluation, serum samples were requested from patients with structures compatible with CH disease, and the presence of antibodies against Echinococcus granulosus was investigated by ELISA and Western Blotting tests. It is aimed to compare ELISA and Western Blotting serological diagnosis methods with each other and with direct microscopic examination in the laboratory diagnosis of CH disease. 16 aspirated cyst fluids were evaluated by direct microscopic examination which sent from the Interventional Radiology Outpatient Clinic. 16 serum samples taken from the same patients were included in the study group and the presence of antibodies in these serum samples was investigated by ELISA and Western Blotting methods. As a control group, the presence of antibodies against E. granulosus was investigated by serological tests in the sera of 10 healthy volunteers who had no prediagnosis or suspicion of hydatid cyst and no signs of parasitic infection. According to serological test results, ELISA IgG was positive in 8 of 16 serum samples, suspiciously positive in 3, and negative in 5 of them. Of the 16 sera, 14 were positive by Western Blotting and 2 were negative. In our study, in which direct microscopic examination was evaluated as the gold standard, the compatibility of the ELISA test with the direct microscopic examination was found to be 53.3%, and the Western Blotting test was 93.3%. It was thought that Western Blotting method was more reliable in the serological diagnosis of CH disease and that combining more than one serological method, if possible, would contribute to the diagnosis.
