Reaction of Viral Hepatitis Sera with M. rhesus Erythrocytes.

Abstract
A hemagglutination test is described, wherein the sera of individuals diagnosed as having contracted viral hepatitis agglutinate the red blood cells of the rhesus monkey in dilutions of 1:8 or greater, as contrasted with the sera of a majority of apparently healthy blood donors and of jaundiced patients in whom a diagnosis of viral hepatitis was excluded. The observation, although made empirically and requiring confirmation, appears to offer promise and is being investigated at greater lengths.
