Much importance is given to rapid investigation methods such as the phage titer increase reaction and the fluorescent antibody method, however the question of their specificity in the diagnosis of intestinal infections has not been definitively solved. We have carried out a comparative study of these methods, using a parallel bacteriological method.</p>Kazan Medical archiveКазанский медицинский архив
