Selection of diagnostic cutoffs for murine typhus IgM and IgG immunofluorescence assay: a systematic review
Murine typhus is a neglected but widespread infectious disease that results in acute fever. The immunofluorescence assay (IFA) is the “gold standard” to identify IgM or IgG antibodies, although there is a lack of standardization in methodologies. The objective of this review is to summarize 1) the d...
