Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ELISA for the detection of antibodies in the human leptospirosis Teste imunoenzimático (ELISA) para detecção de anticorpos circulantes da classe IgA na leptospirose humana
An Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay ELISA was evaluated for the detection of IgA antibodies in the human leptospirosis. The assay proved to be sensitive and specific when compared with the ELISA-IgM, in the examinated serum samples. The results found suggest that IgA antibodies became positive late...

Nas amostras de soro analisadas o teste demonstrou ser sensível e específico, quando comparado ao teste ELISA-IgM.
