title: [The use of immunoenzyme analysis in the laboratory diagnosis of plague].
abstract: The possibility of using the enzyme immunoassay (EIA) for the early diagnosis of pneumonic plague was studied in experiments on monkeys. EIA was shown to be more effective than the passive hemagglutination test. The diagnostic value of blood serum samples was found to be higher than that of nasopharyngeal mucus samples taken from the sick animals. The conclusion on the suitability of EIA for the early laboratory diagnosis of this disease was made.
