Abstract
The capacity of human parvovirus B19 to agglutinate human type O erythrocytes was used to develop immunoglobulin G and M antibody capture hemadherence assays. When results of these assays were compared with those of corresponding antibody capture enzyme immunoassays using a well-characterized panel of 125 serum specimens, a 96.8% overall agreement was obtained between the two methods.
