The agar-gel immunodiffusion test was used to evaluated 35 dogs with histopathologically confirmed blastomycosis and 98 dogs without blastomycosis. The test had a sensitivity of 91% and a specificity of 96%. Thirteen of the dogs treated for blastomycosis were tested at 6 to 33 months after treatment with amphotericin B. Ten of 13 dogs became seronegative and 3, though clinically normal, remained seropositive at 19, 20, and 20 months, respectively, after amphotericin treatment.
采用琼脂凝胶免疫扩散试验对35只经组织病理学确诊为芽生菌病的犬和98只无芽生菌病的犬进行评估。该试验的敏感性为91%,特异性为96%。对13只接受芽生菌病治疗的犬在使用两性霉素B治疗后6至33个月进行检测。13只犬中有10只血清学转为阴性,3只虽然临床正常,但在两性霉素治疗后分别于19、20和20个月仍保持血清学阳性。
