Efficacy of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in serodiagnosis of aspergillosis.
Sera from 43 cases of aspergillosis, 73 cases of other bronchopulmonary diseases, and 50 healthy persons were examined for the presence of antibodies to Aspergillus fumigatus. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay proved to be more efficacious than the immunodiffusion test and counterimmunoelectrophoresis in the cases of allergic bronchopulmonary and invasive aspergillosis.
