                            <p>We examined the compatibility or superiority of microagglutination and indirect fluorescent antibody tests performed on 149 human sera.106 sera were obtained from jaundiced patients hospitalized in the clinic, 33 from Çorum-Osmancık, and 10 from the Microbiology Institute. The sera were first examined with L. biflexa patoc 1 at a titer of 1/50 using microagglutination and indirect fluorescent antibody techniques. 135 sera that did not yield positive results at a titer of 1/50 with either test were considered negative and received no further action. The 14 sera that yielded positive results at a titer of 1/50 were tested with L. biflexa patoc 1 and L. interorgans serotypes at higher titers using microagglutination and indirect fluorescent antibody techniques. The results showed that L. biflexa and patoc 1 exhibited common antigenic reactions with L. interorgans serotypes in both tests, and that the results of both tests on 149 human sera were identical at a rate of 96 to 100. It was concluded that the time required to perform both tests was almost identical, and that preparations carrying a lower risk of infection to personnel using the indirect fluorescent antibody technique could be examined with the indirect fluorescent antibody test even after 48 hours, and that this test could be used in place of the microagglutination test.</p></trans-abstract>

Uygulama sonucu L. biflexa, patoc 1 in L. interorgans serotipleriyle her iki testte müşterek antijenik reaksiyon verdikleri, her iki testin 149 insan serumu üzerinde uygulama sonuçlarının 96 100 oranında ayni nitelikte olduğu görülmüştür. Her iki testin yapılmasında geçen zamanın hemen hemen bir- birinin ayni olduğu, indirekt floresan antikor tekniği uygulamasında personelin infeksiyon alma tehlikesinin daha az ihtimalde bulunduğu preparatların 48 saat sonra dahi indirekt floresan antikor testinde incelenehileceği ve bu testin mikroaglutinasyon testi yerine de kul- lanılabileceği kanısına varılmıştır.</p></abstract>
