title: [The use of standard microbial antigens in the serologic diagnosis of nonspecific diseases of the respiratory organs].
abstract: A method for serologic diagnosis of nonspecific disease of the respiratory organs is suggested with standard commercial antigens used for the detection of antibodies in the blood serum. The diagnostic titre of the test is 1:16. The results of the tests with the standard antigens coincide with the bacteriologic findings (isolation of the agent from the sputum) in 74% of cases. This method is much more rapid than the bacteriologic investigation since no preparation of the antigen from bacterial autostrains is necessary; this permits a sooner start of therapy.
