A haemagglutination test for anti-Panton-Valentine leucocidin in serum: an interim report on 200 cases.

The test is an application of the method originally described by Boyden (1951) and adapted by Stavitsky and Arquilla (1958). Sera which contain anti-Panton-Valentine leucocidin agglutinate the prepared red cells, often to a very high dilution, and this has provided a useful serological test for the diagnosis of staphylococcal disease in orthopaedic lesions. The test is quicker as a routine investigation than the bioscopic method previously described by Towers and Gladstone (1958).

A haemagglutination test for staphylococcal anti-leucocidin.

A haemagglutination test using tanned erythrocytes sensitized with the fast and slow moving components of the Panton-Valentine staphylococcal leucocidin is described. From the results obtained it is suggested that this test could be useful in the diagnosis of deep-seated staphylococcal lesions.
