Complement fixation test as an aid in the diagnosis of farmer's lung.

Complement-fixing antibodies to Micropolyspora faeni were measured in farmers and controls. Farmers with known or suspected farmer's lung showed significantly higher titers than control groups. Variations in titer were measured and correlated with the clinical disease.

Calretinin Immunohistochemistery: An Aid in the Diagnosis of Hirschsprung’s Disease

Objective(s) Definite diagnosis of Hirschsprung’s disease (HD) is based on histopathological study, but there are limitations associated with standard histology and histochemistry in this regard. The aim of this study was to investigate calretinin immunostaining patterns in both ganglionic and aganglionic HD intestinal specimens and to compare them with control specimens. Materials and Method...

Complement fixation test for the diagnosis of Lyme disease.

Sera from 43 patients were tested for complement-fixing antibodies to Borrelia burgdorferi; these patients included 8 with confirmed Lyme disease, 21 who were serologically positive but not likely to have Lyme disease, and 14 who were serologically negative. Seven individuals, all confirmed Lyme disease patients, had complement-fixing antibodies. Complement fixation may be a useful confirmatory...
