Counter immuno electrophoresis for the diagnosis of Strept. pneumonia and H. influenzae pneumonia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Counter immuno electrophoresis was done on concentrated urine samples of 166 children with lower respiratory tract infection for the detection of Streptococcus pneumoniae and haemophilus influenzae type b antigens. About 101⁄4 cases showed the presence of Strept. Pneumoniae Polysaccharide antigen and1.8% H. influenzae antigen. No growth was seen on blood culture in 91.8% while 0.8% showed Strep. pneumoniae. Bacterial antigen detection can be used as an adjunct to routine diagnostic tests in patients with lower respiratory tract infection (JPMA 37: 148,1987).
