Abstrakt: Background and Objectives: Chancroid is a risk factor for heterosexually acquiring HIV. Controlling its spread may reduce HIV transmission. Goal of the Study: To develop EIAs for assessing antibody levels and for seroepidemiologic studies. Study Design: Anti-Haemophilus ducreyi IgA, IgG and IgM EIAs were standardized using a crude cocktail antigen. Evaluation was on sera from Kenya, Rwanda, Thailand and The Gambia. The two-tailed student's t test was used to compare results.
