Correlation of Serologic Tests for Amebiasis with Pathologic Changes and Clinical Manifestations. Part I. Serologic Studies of Amebiasis. Part II. Serologic Studies of Filariasis.
Abstract
The purposes of this study were: (1) to attempt to carry the development of practical serologic tests for amebiasis and filariasis to the point that they could be performed by competent serologic technologists without special training. (2) To evaluate these tests with regard to their diagnostic usefulness. (3) To determine whether there was close correlation between the virulence of amebic isolates often designated as 'strains' when tested in rats, and the extent of disease, and antibody produced in man. (4) To study some of the characteristics of amebic and filarial antigens by fractionation experiments.
