Abstract
Summary The leptospiral sensitized erythrocyte lysis test established the diagnosis in all 40 cases of human leptospiroses. The sero-group specificity of the test was substantiated by the ability of L. pomona ESS to detect human infection caused by L. icterohemorrhagiae, L. canicola, L. pomona, L. hyos, L. australis A, L. australis B, “Robinson”, “Kremastos”, and “Celledoni”. The value of the SEL test in survey studies of past leptospiral infection requires further study.Keywords
