Figures
- FIG. 1.
Detection of B. henselae by IFD test in the lymph node of a patient with CSD by using a MAb directed against B. henselae as viewed by fluorescence microscopy (magnification, ×400).
- FIG. 2.
Sensitivities and specificities obtained with IFA and/or IFD tests. For sensitivity, the cutoff titer for IFA was set at ≥64, whereas for specificity, it was set at ≥128.
