Abstract

Cold hemagglutinin in titers above 1:32 has been found in only 16.2% among 68 Chinese patients with kala azar. The highest titer obtained was 1:256. The titer bears no relationship to the severity, stage, and treatment of the disease. Our results further suggest that there is no correlation between cold hemagglutinin titer and serum globulin content.
