Serum Neutralization Anti-IgG Test for Psittacosis
AUTOR(ES)
Williams, Thomas D.
RESUMO
Levels of antibodies in sera from patients with diagnoses of subclinical or established psittacosis infections were determined by the serum neutralization anti-IgG test and by conventional tests. Relatively high levels of serum neutralizing anti-bodies were detected in tests in which anti-IgG was used, whereas conventional tests disclosed only marginal levels of antibody. Use of the serum neutralization anti-IgG test in conjunction with the fluorescent cell-counting technique permitted serum antibody determinations within 24 hr.
