摘要: Abstract The results of 517 filaria complement-fixation tests are analysed.It is concluded that D. immitis antigen gives a group reaction but the incidence positives not equal for all types filariasis, being greatest in loiasis, and lowest cases bancroftian infection. test does give false positive reactions, this reason useful aid to diagnosis filariasis during its early stages when microfilariae absent.
