[Study of carbon agglutination test for the rapid diagnosis of rotavirus].
This paper reports the result of experiment of carbon agglutination test used for the diagnosis of Rotavirus. The results of our experiments demonstrate that this method has many advantages, such as simplicity, rapidity and specificity. One hundred and five stool samples were detected by carbon agglutination test and polyacrylamidegel electrophoresis. The result showed that no obvious difference in the positive rates of them. Thus, it can be concluded that CAT method can replace the PAGE in clinic.
