[The significance of the O antigen for the diagnosis of acute Sonne dysentery].

Abstract

The authors investigated the clinical importance of determination of the O-antigen in coprofiltrates of patients with acute Sonne dysentery by means of immunoenzymatic analysis. It was found that use of immunoenzymatic analysis is justified for etiological diagnosis of dysentery as well as with the purpose of forecasting recurrence of the disease.
