Description
Summary:Various serological tests that can be done to diag- nose rickettsial infections are microimmunoflorescence, immunoperoxidase assay, latex agglutination, indirect hemagglutination, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, dot blot immunoassay (including dipstick test) and Weil- Felix test. [...]this test can replace the more definitive investigations to diagnose rickettsial in- fections.
