title: [Use of peroxidase and FITC labeled antibodies for express-diagnosis of influenza].
abstract: The evaluation of influenza antigen detection was done in comparative experiments on the same material during an epidemic of influenza due to A2/Victoria (H3N2) influenza virus. Cells of the nasal mucosa from 65 patients were tested at the same intervals by two methods showing no difference in the principle of the reaction: peroxidase-labeled (IP) and FITC-labeled (IF) antibody. By the latter method influenza could be diagnosed in 36% of cases, by IP in 38%, by the combination of the two in 56%. There is sufficient evidence of the specificity of IP method. This method of influenza antigen detection is as sensitive as IF (47 and 44%, respectively), however, with IP the evaluation of the results is much easier.
