Abstract:
It is possible that weak-reactive is false positive in serological testing for infectious diseases because of the uncertainty of cut-off values used and some interference factors of clinical samples. The confirmative tests of weak-reactive samples included neutralization assay for specific antigen and immune-blotting or immuno-fluorescence antibody assay for specific antibody. It is important to set up confirmative procedures for weak-reactive samples in clinical diagnosis of infectious diseases and body examination of normal population.
