Abstract
A rapid and simple hemagglutination inhibition test for measuring gentamicin concentrations in serum has been developed. Correlation coefficients for this assay with the radioimmunoassay and microbiological assay were r = 710 and r = 0.864, respectively. Measurements of gentamicin levels in serum by the three methods showed no statistically significant differences. The hemagglutination inhibition assay is fast, reliable, and relatively inexpensive, and should prove valuable for laboratory use.
