title: Erythrocyte polyagglutination showing properties of both T and Tk, probably induced by Bacteroides fragilis infection.
abstract: A new type of polyagglutination is described in which the T and Tk receptors are both exposed on the erythrocyte membrane. It is suggested that there may be an association between this type of polyagglutination and infection by Bacteroides fragilis.
