Abstrakt: AbstractCountercurrent Immunoelectrophoresis (CIE) is a reliable method for detection of microbial antigens in various body fluids. We describe a case of neonatal pneumococcal peritonitis in which CIE was helpful in detecting microbial antigen in paracentesis fluids. Corresponding bacterial cultures were negative. The usefulness of CIE is emphasized.
