Macroscopic agglutination test for rapid diagnosis of human leptospirosis.
A commercially available slide agglutination test (SAT) for the diagnosis of human leptospirosis was evaluated by comparing it to an immunoglobulin M (IgM) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and to the microscopic agglutination test (MAT). For all 108 patients, leptospirosis was diagnosed on the basis of a fourfold or greater increase in titer by MAT (seroconversion), and all but 1 of 24...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Leptospirosis: Comparison between Microscopic Agglutination Test, IgM-ELISA and IgM Rapid Immunochromatography Test
BACKGROUND Leptospirosis is diagnosed on clinical grounds, and confirmed by microscopic agglutination test (MAT). IgM-ELISA (Serion-Virion) and immunochromatography test (Leptocheck-WB) are two immunodiagnostic assays for leptospirosis. Their sensitivity, specificity and applicability in Sri Lanka have not been systematically evaluated. METHODS Clinically diagnosed leptospirosis patients (n =...
متن کاملDevelopment of a simple serological method for diagnosing leptospirosis: a microcapsule agglutination test.
A passive microcapsule agglutination test for the diagnosis of leptospirosis was developed by utilizing chemically stable microcapsules instead of sheep erythrocytes. In the test, sonically disrupted antigens of leptospira were sensitized to microcapsules treated with glutaraldehyde. Compared with the microscopic agglutination test, the passive microcapsule agglutination test showed a relativel...
متن کاملSimple latex agglutination assay for rapid serodiagnosis of human leptospirosis.
A newly developed latex agglutination assay for the detection of genus-specific Leptospira antibodies in human sera was evaluated. The assay is performed by mixing, on an agglutination card, serum with equal volumes of stabilized antigen-coated, dyed test and control latex beads and is read within 2 min. The latex agglutination test was evaluated with groups of serum samples from patients with ...
متن کاملMycobacterial agglutination-inhibition test.
The mycobacterial agglutination-inhibition test (MAIT) is described as a modification of the mycobacterial agglutination of Schaefer (MATS). It is an organized assemblage of absorption and agglutination tests which is especially useful in the identification of Mycobacterium avium isolates normally excluded from serological identification because of unstable cell suspension characteristics. The ...
