The haeiviagglutination-inhibition test in the diagnosis of yellow fever in man

Abstract

A haemagglutination-inhibition test for the detection of yellow fever antibody in human sera is described. Parallel tests on 109 sera show agreement between the mouse-protection test and the haemagglutination-inhibition test in 90 per cent. of cases. Statistical analysis shows this result to be highly significant. Further work on the specificity of the reaction is required.
