Counterimmunoelectrophoresis in the diagnosis of mycetoma and its sensitivity as compared to immunodiffusion

S A Gumaa et al. Sabouraudia. 1975 Nov.

Abstract

Counterimmunoelectrophoresis used for the diagnosis of mycetoma was found superior to immunodiffusion (ID) especially when using neat serum and 1:2 dilution (P=less than 0.0001 with neat serum; and less than 0.01 with 1:2 dilution). It is recommended for routine use in mycology laboratories for following up patients on treatment and for confirming the diagnosis of sera that are weakly positive by ID.
