Weil-Felix Reaction
|
Weil-Felix Reaction
Patients with Rickettsial infection have antibodies against Rickettsia. When patient serum is mixed with Proteus antigens, antirickettsial antibodies cross-react to Proteus O antigens and agglutinate. (Weil-Felix is negative in Coxiella Burnetti). Latex agglutination assay is commonly used to diagnose rickettsial disease. |
