title: [Precipitation antibodies against poliovirus in patients with poliomyelitis].
abstract: Sera from 26 children bearing poliomyelitis caused by virus tipe I and from 47 cases with paralysis of different etiology (non-poliomyelitic) were tested against antigen of poliovirus types I, II and III with an agar-immunoprecipitation reaction. All sera with neutralizing antibodies with titres of 1:1250 gave positive results in immunodifusion tests. The percentage of positiveness decrease with lower titres. No false positive reactions were found. Immunodiffusion test with antigens of poliovirus were positive in 100% of sera from patients with poliomyelitis and only in 30% in sera from patients with non polio paralysis.
