title: [Further studies of the acid plate agglutination reaction in the diagnosis of brucellosis in humans].
abstract: Using the methods of acid platelet agglutination, agglutination, agglutination with 2-mercaptoethanol, Coombs' reaction, and complement binding reaction, 152 serum specimens taken from patients with diagnosed brucellosis, were subjected to studies. The following per cent of seropositive results was shown: acid platelet agglutination--11.2%, agglutination--40.1%, agglutination with 2-mercaptoethanol--34.4%, Coombs' reaction--42.8%, complement binding reaction--7.9%. The acid platelet agglutination reaction cannot be used for screening for brucellosis in humans.
