[Influenzae type B infections. Quick identification by countercurrent-immuno-electrophoresis (author's transl)].
Countercurrent immunoelectrophoresis (CIE) was performed in 16 patients with Haemophilus influenzae type b infection. Compared with the conventional methods CIE is a more accurate and rapid diagnostic tool. Even in patients already receiving antibiotics bacterial antigen can be detected by CIE in a high percentage. The methods are uncomplicated, inexpensive and possible to perform in any laboratory.
