The Crithidia luciliae test was compared with the radioimmunoassay technique for n DNA antibodies on 93 randomly selected sera submitted for antibody testing, and was found to be a highly specific, reproducible and economical test. It appeared to be less sensitive than the radio-immunoassay technique in sera from some of the patients, but analysis of the clinical findings showed that the C. luciliae test correlated better with the clinical assessment of these patients.
对随机选取的93份送检抗体检测血清，将鲁氏锥虫试验与抗n DNA抗体放射免疫测定技术进行了比较，发现该试验具有高度特异性、可重复性且经济实惠。在部分患者的血清中，它似乎不如放射免疫测定技术敏感，但对临床结果的分析表明，鲁氏锥虫试验与这些患者的临床评估相关性更好。
