Evaluation of agar-gel double diffusion for the diagnosis of adenovirus infection.
Agar-gel double diffusion was compared to the Laboratory Branch complement fixation test. The efficacy of the agar-gel double diffusion test for the semiquantitation of group-specific adenovirus antibody and its usefulness as a serodiagnostic aid for the evaluation of adenovirus infection was determined.
