A comparison of the Patoc 1 slide agglutination (SAT) and DIFCO slide agglutination test for the screening of leptospirosis in man, cattle and coypu (Myocastor coypus Molina) is reported. The economic costs, convenience and availability of the antigens for the tests are analysed. It is recommended that slide agglutination methods alone are not sufficient for the routine diagnosis of leptospirosis.
本文报告了对用于人类、牛和水豚(Myocastor coypus Molina)钩端螺旋体病筛查的帕托克1玻片凝集试验(SAT)和DIFCO玻片凝集试验的比较。分析了这些试验所用抗原的经济成本、便利性和可得性。建议仅靠玻片凝集方法不足以进行钩端螺旋体病的常规诊断。
