Serological tests are, in some situations, the only method of diagnosis of some infectious diseases. The authors make a review of the literature about the most important tests used in the most common infectious diseases and also their interpretation. It is important to point out that serology should not be considered alone but compared to clinical manifestations presented by the patient. It is also necessary, in some cases, to obtain two samples of serum, to confirm if there is an increase in the antibodies' titles. The results sent from the laboratory should be interpreted based on references given by it.
在某些情况下，血清学检测是诊断某些传染病的唯一方法。作者对有关最常见传染病中使用的最重要检测方法及其解读的文献进行了综述。需要指出的是，血清学不应单独考虑，而应与患者呈现的临床表现进行比较。在某些情况下，获取两份血清样本以确认抗体滴度是否升高也是必要的。实验室给出的结果应根据其提供的参考标准进行解读。
