The Weil-Felix Test Is Archaic and Misleading-Reply

JAMA - Journal of the American Medical Association, 1986
In Reply.— I agree with Dr Newby that the Weil-Felix test is much less desirable for diagnosing Rocky Mountain spotted fever than the complement fixation test or the microimmunofluorescent test. However, the Weil-Felix test continues to be used because of convenience and accessibility.

Validity of the Weil-Felix test in the diagnosis of acute rickettsial infections in Sri Lanka

Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, 2009
The diagnosis of rickettsial infections in developing countries is based on clinical features and a positive Weil-Felix test (WFT), as tests such as indirect immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) assays are not available for routine use. We estimated the sensitivity of the WFT in Sri Lanka using IFA testing as the gold standard.

The Weil-Felix Test Is Archaic and Misleading

JAMA: The Journal of the American Medical Association, 1986

They unfortunately did not heed their own data or the past recommendations of others 2-4 also to abandon the equally archaic and misleading Weil-Felix reactions.
