Immunofluorescence microscopy for the rapid diagnosis of melioidosis.

Immunofluorescence microscopy for the rapid diagnosis of melioidosis.

A direct immunofluorescent antibody test (DIF) was developed for the rapid diagnosis of melioidosis, a potentially fatal infection caused by Pseudomonas pseudomallei. In a clinical evaluation of 369 sputum, pus, or urine specimens from 272 patients with suspected melioidosis, the DIF had a sensitivi...
