This paper describes a simple and rapid microcapsule agglutination (MCA) test. The results obtained by this new test have been compared with those obtained by the microtitre MCA and the microscopic agglutination (MA) test. The procedures required for the new test are easier and can be performed more rapidly than those necessary for the microtitre MCA test. Furthermore, the new test is more sensitive than the MA test in the early stages of leptospirosis. This new test appears satisfactory as a screening test for the early diagnosis of leptospirosis.
本文描述了一种简单快速的微胶囊凝集（MCA）试验。将这种新试验得到的结果与微量滴定MCA试验和显微镜凝集（MA）试验得到的结果进行了比较。新试验所需的步骤比微量滴定MCA试验更简便，且能更快速地完成。此外，在钩端螺旋体病早期，新试验比MA试验更敏感。作为钩端螺旋体病早期诊断的筛查试验，这种新试验似乎令人满意。
