Diagnosis of American trypanosomiasis (Chagas' disease) by the new complement fixation test.

E Garcia1, L E Ramirez, V Monteon, J Sotelo.   

Abstract

A new immunodiagnostic method of complement fixation was used for serodiagnosis of American trypanosomiasis; 92% sensitivity and 99% specificity were obtained, for an overall accuracy of 97%. This test can be used in field studies, obviating the use of most laboratory equipment and imported reagents; places where economic limitations hinder the use of other immunodiagnostic procedures; and in association with other tests for confirmation of the diagnosis.
