We present a cross-correlation between the ELAIS 15$\mu$m ISO survey with the {\it ROSAT} (0.1-2 keV) all-sky survey and the pointed observations WGACAT source catalogue. The resulting sample contains 15 objects. Optical spectroscopic identifications exist for 13 objects: 6 broad-line QSOs, 4 narrow line galaxies or type-2 AGN (NLG) and 3 stars. We have used both the X-ray to IR luminosity flux ratio $f_{x}/f_{IR}$ and the X-ray hardness ratios diagnostics to estimate the amount of obscuration in these objects. The X-ray spectrum of the narrow-line galaxies does not present strong evidence for obscuration; however, the low $f_{x}/f_{IR}$ ratio combined with the high X-ray luminosities suggest that at least one of the narrow line galaxies is associated with an obscured Seyfert nucleus. 4 out of 6 QSOs present high $f_{x}/f_{IR}$ ratios and steep X-ray spectra with $\Gamma>2$. One QSO (ELAISC15-J133442+375736) at a redshift of z=1.89, has an abnormally low X-ray/IR flux ratio, with its infrared luminosity approaching that of an hyperluminous galaxy ($\sim10^{12.98} h^{-2} L_\odot$). Finally, one radio-loud QSO is the hardest X-ray source in our sample, presenting strong evidence for a high absorbing column ($N_H\sim10^{22}\rm cm^{-2}$).
