Abstract
IN infections with pathogens of low virulence strictly localized to a few or single organs, it is often difficult, if not impossible, to obtain reliable diagnostic findings by means of tests for antibodies circulating in the blood stream. This holds true in particular if only some parts of a mucous membrane are involved. In such cases, however, it may prove practicable to utilize the local antibody production for diagnostic purposes.
