Abstract
Trichina precipitin tests were performed on sera from 128 persons with and without neoplastic disease. False positive tests were frequently encountered in sera from patients with Hodgkin''s disease, lymphosarcoma, and acute leukemia; and occasionally in other sarcomas and carcinomas. There was no apparent relation to medication, fever, or eosinophilia. 35 healthy controls gave negative tests.Keywords
