Evaluation of direct agglutination test (dat) and elisa for serodiagnosis of visceral leishmaniasis in india

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, 1991
AbstractThe direct agglutination test (DAT) and the enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used for serodiagnosis of parasitologically confirmed Indian visceral leishmaniasis (VL) cases. All the sera of VL cases were positive by both the methods. DAT titres of VL cases were ≥1:3,200, and ELISA values were ≥0.55 at 1:400 dilution. In the control
