Countercurrent immunoelectrophoresis was used for the detection of group- and type-specific antigens in the body fluids of 61 infants from St. Louis and Indiana with group B streptococcal infections. Urine concentrated using an Amicon filter yielded the highest percentage of positive results; 81% were positive in the St Louis group. When three body fluids (urine, CSF, and blood) were available, at least one was positive for group B streptococcus in 95% of the cases. This study demonstrates the applicability of this test in a tertiary care facility (St Louis) and in smaller hospitals (Indiana) with access to central laboratory.
采用对流免疫电泳法检测了来自圣路易斯和印第安纳州的61例感染B组链球菌的婴儿体液中的群特异性和型特异性抗原。使用密理博过滤器浓缩尿液得到的阳性结果百分比最高;圣路易斯组中81%呈阳性。当有三种体液(尿液、脑脊液和血液)时,95%的病例中至少有一种体液检测出B组链球菌呈阳性。本研究证明了该检测方法在三级医疗机构(圣路易斯)和可利用中心实验室的较小医院(印第安纳)中的适用性。
