title: [Indirect immunofluorescence in filariasis. I. Standardization of the technique. Cuba, 1983].
abstract: Indirect immunofluorescence was standardized for the diagnosis of human filiariae, using antigens of Dipetalonema viteae. Due to the determined sensibility and specificity, the tier of 1:512 was recommended for aiding clinicians in the individual diagnosis of suspicious patients and that of 1:256 for epidemiologic studies. The titers of cross reactions were less than 1:128.
