[Latex-Chagestest-reactions of immunsera against Bartonella bacilliformis, Haemobartonella muris and Eperythrozoon coccoides (author's transl)].

Sera from 10 patients positive for Carrion's disease were analysed by means of the latex Chagas test. Sera from 40 SPF-rats experimentally infected with Haemobartonella muris and 5 SPF-mice experimentally infected with Eperythrozoon coccoides were similarly tested. Both the human and mice sera were negative whereas positive reaction was observed with rat sera. The nature of this positive reaction has not been clarified.
