Abstract

Current agglutination tests occasionally yield false results. Superagglutination test reduced false results, had higher sensitivity (95.88%) and negative predictive value (95.83%) than Rose Bengal plate test (RBPT), Standard Tube Agglutination test (STAT), ELISA, and Complement Fixation test and specificity (89.32%) and positive predictive value (89.42%) higher than RBPT and STAT.
