Other complement tests were normal, including C3, C4, classical and alternative pathway activity, Factor H and Factor I levels.
The diagnosis is established through evaluation of family history and clinical manifestations, complement testing, and genetics analysis.
15, 16 HAE-C1-INH can be diagnosed with complement testing; molecular genetics analysis is helpful in uncertain cases; it is an important tool in prenatal diagnostics.
Animals were sacrificed and necropsied at 2 13 days post-inoculation, and serological tests were performed (complement fixation test and ELISA).
In our study, sera were also tested for C. burnetii antibodies using a complement fixation test (CFT) (Institute Virion/Serion, GmbH, Würzburg, Germany), testing only anti-phase II antibodies.
The complement fixation test (CFT) was used as confirmatory test [ 40].
Moreover, other tests will have to be done to complement culturability testing by viability testing [43] to ensure that bacteria are efficiently killed.
Another blood sample was obtained for Mycoplasma pneumoniae (Complement Fixation test, Virion Serion Institut, Würzburg, Germany) and Chlamydophila pneumoniae (ELISA test, Savyon Diagnostics Ltd, St. Ashdod, Israel) first serum test.
In its toxic phase, the disease was easily confused with typhus, so Fairley developed a complement fixation test for the disease along the lines of the Wassermann test.
