Kits for detecting and treating endometriosis are provided, which contain a targeting molecule comprising an eosinophil peroxidase-binding component. Methods of detecting and treating endometriosis using eosinophil peroxidase-specific targeting molecules are also provided. Targeting molecules comprise an eosinophil peroxidase-binding component and an accessory component; the accessory component comprising an agent conferring detectability or a therapeutic effect. L'invention concerne des kits de détection et de traitement de l'endométriose, lesquels contiennent une molécule de ciblage comprenant un constituant de liaison de peroxydase éosinophile. L'invention concerne également des méthodes de détection et de traitement de l'endométriose à l'aide de molécules de ciblage spécifiques à la peroxydase éosinophile. Les molécules de ciblage contiennent un constituant de liaison de peroxydase éosinophile ainsi qu'un constituant accessoire; le constituant accessoire contenant un agent conférant une détectabilité ou un effet thérapeutique.
