%X the immunodiagnostic potential of a fast-elisa for the detection of antibodies in fasciolosis with sera from 6-12 year old children from cajamarca, peru was examined. four children negative parasitologically were negative by fast-elisa. all 13 children found positive parasitologically were also positive by fast-elisa for 100% sensitivity. twelve of the 13 infected children seroreverted 4 months post dihydroemetine therapy showing lower antibody levels as compared with the pretreatment sample. these results suggest that fast-elisa may be useful for the determination of infection and success of therapy in children with fasciolosis.
