title: [Correlation of titers of antibodies to the measles virus by an immunoenzyme method and in the hemagglutination inhibition reaction].
abstract: The authors analyze the results of comparative studies on 15 paired sera from children with suspected measles, of 32 sera from children and adolescents aged 1.5 to 16 immunized against measles, and of 21 sera from adults aged 19 to 86 with a history of the disease. EIA proved to be more sensitive than HAIT: the detection rate of positive sera was higher, as were the titers of antibodies detected by it, in examinations of the sera from vaccinated children and the adults. Analysis of the distribution of sera with different titers of antibody to measles virus in EIA and HAIT has revealed a correlation between the titers in the sera with high antibody levels. In the cases with low antihemagglutinin titers, no correlation between the titers determined in the two tests has been observed.
