An ELISA method in the diagnosis of typhoid fever.
Anti-S. typhi IgG and IgM antibodies were detected by an ELISA test using whole S. typhi as antigen. Among sera of patients suffering from typhus, 100% were positive for IgG and 78.9% for IgM. In the control group (blood donors and patients with various diseases) positivities were 1.01% for IgG and 1.01% for IgM.
