%X an elisa sandwich for the detection of giardia lamblia antigens in human faeces was standardized. 175 samples were studied: 77 positive, 61 negative to cysts and/or trophozoites by direct faeces test, and 19 positive to other parasite different from g. lamblia. the sensitivity of the technique was 94,8 % and the specificity 98,3 %. the method detects an antigen concentration of 31 ng. the procedure is simple, sensitive and specific so, it may be useful for diagnosis and in epidemiological studies.
