Samples of cerebrospinal fluid from 103 patients with aseptic meningitis were tested by PCR for detection of leptospires, and the results were compared with those of the microscopic agglutination test (MAT) and an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for detection of immunoglobulin M (ELISA-IgM). Of these samples, 39.80% were positive by PCR and 8.74 and 3.88% were positive by MAT and ELISA-IgM, respectively.
对103例无菌性脑膜炎患者的脑脊液样本进行聚合酶链反应（PCR）检测以检测钩端螺旋体，并将结果与显微镜凝集试验（MAT）和检测免疫球蛋白M的酶联免疫吸附测定（ELISA-IgM）的结果进行比较。在这些样本中，PCR检测阳性率为39.80%，MAT和ELISA-IgM检测阳性率分别为8.74%和3.88%。
