Simplified method of serodiagnosis of typhoid and typhus fever

Abstract

For the diagnosis of typhoid fever, Vidal proposed in 1896 an agglutination reaction with the serum of patients, using a live culture of Ebert's bacillus as an antigen. A similar reaction was proposed in 1917 by Weil and Felix for typhus fever. Both of these reactions became well known, were widely used, and are still a very valuable diagnostic method.
