Impact of Proficiency Testing on Results of the Microscopic Agglutination Test for Diagnosis of Leptospirosis [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2004
ABSTRACT A proficiency testing scheme for the leptospirosis microscopic agglutination test was provided to 37 laboratories in 23 countries in 2002 (round 1) and to 60 laboratories in 34 countries in 2003 (round 2). Thirty-four laboratories participated in both rounds.

Emulating visual evaluations in the microscopic agglutination test with deep learning

Journal of Microbiological Methods
Abstract The Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT) is widely recognized as the gold standard for diagnosing zoonosis leptospirosis. However, its reliance on examiners’ subjective evaluations often leads to inconsistent results. To address this limitation, we propose a deep neural network replicating the agglutination rate estimation in ...

A comparative study on microscopic agglutination test and counterimmunoelectrophoresis for early detection of human leptospirosis

Indian Journal of Medical Microbiology, 2014
Leptospirosis is a potentially fatal bacterial disease that mimics many diseases; therefore, laboratory confirmation is pivotal. Though microscopic agglutination test (MAT) is accepted as World Health Organisation (WHO) reference test, it has got many pitfalls such as being hazardous, tedious, cumbersome and expensive. Counterimmunoelectrophoresis (CIE)

The Microscopic Agglutination Test (MAT) Is an Unreliable Predictor of Infecting Leptospira Serovar in Thailand

American Journal of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2009
A prospective study in Thailand identified 106 patients with culture-proven leptospirosis. The accuracy of the microscopic agglutination test (MAT) in predicting the infecting serovar was evaluated in 78/106 (74%) patients with a diagnostic titer. MAT correctly determined the infecting serovar in 26 cases (33%), indicating that this assay is a poor ...

Improved Microtechnique for the Leptospiral Microscopic Agglutination Test [PDF]

Applied Microbiology, 1973
A method for improving the original Galton microtechnique for detecting leptospiral antibodies has been developed. Simultaneous titrations were performed on 281 animal and human sera and 17 hyperimmune sera with the microscopic agglutination (MA) test and the improved microtechnique.
