title: Serum agglutinins in disease caused by Mycobacterium intracellulare.
abstract: Serum from each of five persons with pulmonary mycobacteriosis due to Mycobacterium intracellulare contained agglutinins specific for the serotype of the causative organism. The findings suggest that the direct agglutination test may prove useful in diagnostic mycobacteriology.
