title: Detection of antibody to Varicella-Zoster virus by immune adherence hemagglutination.
abstract: A serologic test for measurement of antibody to V-Z virus by immune adherence hemagglutination is described. Initial evaluation of the test has shown it to be highly sensitive, specific, rapid, and simple to perform. The V-Z antigen may be stored at -70 degrees, and the test could be performed in any routine serology laboratory.
