Abstract
The proven diagnostic value of the cephalin-cholesterol flocculation test in the detection of pre-icteric infective hepatitis, Weil''s disease, and relapsing fever, makes the test useful in routine testing of possible suspects and also may prove of considerable value in testing donors of blood and plasma in order to prevent the possible transmission of hepatitis, and perhaps also of malaria.Keywords
