title: [Latex agglutination reaction for the diagnosis of toxoplasmosis].
abstract: Agglutination of latex-particles sensitized with toxoplasma-antigen is a simple, fast, inexpensive test for toxoplasmosis-diagnosis. This test has been compared with passive-hemagglutination (1091 sera) and immunofluorescence (1093 sera). From the results, this new test is showed to be closer to passive-hemagglutination than indirect immunofluorescence. After studying possible false results and biological qualities it is thought that this test has good qualities to render great services for the toxoplasmosis diagnosis, and specially for epidemiological investigations.
