The use of immunodiffusion tests in coccidioidomycosis. Immunodiffusion tests are simpler to perform and more specific than CF tests, but their lower sensitivity limits their usefulness as screening tests (Davies and Sarosi 1987). Persons meeting the clinical case definition were considered to have had laboratory confirmed coccidioidomycosis if a complement fixation (CF) antibody titer of [greater than or equal to] 1:2 was present or if either of the immunodiffusion tests showed a band of identity. |
