A study of the agglutinin response in 40 cases of bacterial pneumonia

A C Nicholls et al. J Clin Pathol. 1975 Jun.

Abstract

Comparison of the results of cultures from blood and sputum with those of agglutinin response in 40 cases of bacterial pneumonia and 36 controls suggests that a provisional identification of causal bacteria, for purposes of antibiotic therapy, may be made by the serological tests with much greater rapidity and comparable accuracy. A combination of these methods is recommended.
