Abstract
|
|
|
The present study was done to compare the laser nephelometry with the latex
agglutination test for the determination of rheumatoid factor.
The following results were obtained.
1) The latex agglutination method was simple for qualitative tests but the
nephelometry method was simpler and more accurate than the other for quantitative
testis.
2) With the nephelometric method, endpoints were objectively assessed and
standardization was easy.
3) In quantitative tests, the data were highly reproducible with the nephelometry
method.
4) Both methods were generally similes in specificity and sensitivity but the
nephelometry was more specific than the other in progressive and convalescent stages
of the disease.
