A trusted technique for serological diagnosis

 

Immunofluorescence remains the reference technique for the serological diagnosis of certain parameters, such as Bartonella, Coxiella, Legionella, Chlamydia and Rickettsia. By allowing sample dilutions, it provides a quantitative value that can, in some cases, be very useful in guiding patient diagnosis.

 

It is a technique based on a very simple protocol, although it requires a certain level of experience in the reading and interpretation of results.
