Leptospirosis Serodiagnosis by the Microscopic Agglutination Test

Current Protocols in Microbiology, 2014
AbstractThe microscopic agglutination test (MAT) is the gold standard for sero‐diagnosis of leptospirosis because of its unsurpassed diagnostic specificity. It uses panels of live leptospires, ideally recent isolates, representing the circulating serovars from the area where the patient became infected. A dilution series of the patient's serum is mixed

Objectification of evaluation criteria in microscopic agglutination test using deep learning

Journal of Microbiological Methods
We aim to objectify the evaluation criteria of agglutination rate estimation in the Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT). This study proposes a deep learning method that extracts free leptospires from dark-field microscopic images and calculates the agglutination rate. The experiments show the effect of objectification with real pictures.

Comparative evaluation of recombinant LigB protein and heat-killed antigen-based latex agglutination test with microscopic agglutination test for diagnosis of bovine leptospirosis

Tropical Animal Health and Production, 2015
This study aimed to develop latex agglutination test (LAT) using recombinant leptospiral immunoglobulin-like protein (LigB) (rLigB) antigen and compare its diagnostic efficacy with LAT using conventional heat-killed leptospiral antigen and microscopic agglutination test (MAT) in diagnosing bovine leptospirosis.

A comparison of live and formalised leptospiral microscopic agglutination test

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene. Series A: Medical Microbiology, Infectious Diseases, Virology, Parasitology, 1987
The sensitivity and reliability of a formalised leptospiral antigen battery was compared with a smaller battery of live leptospiral antigens with 152 human sera positive for leptospirosis. There was good concurrence of results between the formalised and live antigens, however the live battery did fail to detect some positive sera where the antibody ...

Comparison of a slide agglutination test, LeptoTek Dri-Dot, and IgM-ELISA with microscopic agglutination test for Leptospira antibody detection.

The Southeast Asian journal of tropical medicine and public health, 2008
A slide agglutination test (SAT), LeptoTek Dri-Dot and IgM-ELISA were compared with a microscopic agglutination test (MAT) for the detection of Leptospira antibodies. Paired sera from 10 patients whose leptospirosis was clinically suspected and diagnosed by MAT, were evaluated in this study.

Use of formaldehyde-PBS for serum dilution in the microscopic agglutination test (MAT) for leptospirosis

Zentralblatt für Bakteriologie, Mikrobiologie und Hygiene. Series A: Medical Microbiology, Infectious Diseases, Virology, Parasitology, 1984
Altogether, 431 sera (381 positive and 50 negative sera) were tested against different Leptospira serovars in the microscopic agglutination test (CMAT) using PBS with and without formaldehyde for comparative purposes. For the preparation of serum dilutions with formaldehyde-PBS, formaldehyde was added to PBS at a final concentration of 0.4%.
