title: [Serodiagnosis of rubella: comparison of ELISA and hemagglutination inhibition].
abstract: Serodiagnosis in current practice by the method ELISA. Utilization of commercial kits. I. - Rubella. Comparative study with hemagglutination inhibition test. A comparative study of the hemagglutination inhibition test and the method ELISA for the serodiagnosis of rubella in current practice has been achieved on 1 000 sera using commercial products in kits. The conditions of utilization, the principal factors of the reaction and the expression of results in ELISA titres are defined. The results show a higher sensibility and a higher precision for ELISA and an uncertain interpretation concerning the low titres for IHA. The use of ELISA for the serodiagnosis of rubella in routine with the kit Rubelisa does not present any particular difficulty and raises the quality of the results.
