A new method for the preparation of Q-fever erythrocyte antigenic diagnosticum, adaptable to large-scale production, has been developed, and the diagnosticum thus obtained has been found to be highly specific and sensitive. The combined use of the complement fixation and passive hemagglutination tests enhances the effectiveness of the serological study, as it not only ensures a more complete detection of antibodies to C. burnetii, phase I, in humans and cattle, but also gives more precise indications on the time of infection. |
