VAZQUEZ, SUSANA; BRAVO, JOSÉ R.; PEREZ, . ANA BEATRIZ  and  GUZMAN, MARÍA GUADALUPE. ELISA de inhibición: Su utilidad para clasificar un caso de dengue. Rev Cubana Med Trop [online]. 1997, vol.49, n.2, pp. 108-112. ISSN 1561-3054.

For the classification of dengue cases the WHO/PAHO includes the hemagglutination inhibition test as one of the serological techniques used to this end and it is also accepted the possibility of using the ELISA with a titer equivalent to that established by the IH. In this paper, it is explained the usefulness of the inhibition ELISA for the classification of a probable case, a confirmed case, and type of dengue infection (primary or secondary).
