title: Diagnostic accuracy of a new stick micromethod with which to measure antigliadin antibodies.
abstract: A new, simplified micromethod for semiquantitative determination of the antigliadin antibody (AGA) has been proposed. When the new stick method was used in a population of infants hospitalized for gastrointestinal problems, the results were virtually identical to those of the traditional method.
