[Evaluation of the possible influence of Montenegro's intradermal reaction on a serological assay for the diagnosis of American cutaneous leishmaniasis].
Influence of Montenegro skin test for American tegumentar leishmaniasis was evaluated to verify possible interference in serological diagnosis for this disease, performed by immunoenzymatic assay (ELISA). If this interference could occur, it would hamper scientific, epidemiological and patient care; happily we did not find any interference on serological diagnosis by performance of skin testing.
