[Inhibition ELISA. Its utility for classifying a case of dengue].
For the classification of dengue cases the WHO/PAHO includes the hemagglutination inhibition test as one of the serological techniques used to this end and it is also accepted the possibility of using the ELISA with a titer equivalent to that established by the IH. In this paper, it is explained the usefulness of the inhibition ELISA for the classification of a probable case, a confirmed case, and type of dengue infection (primary or secondary).
