Abstract
The PREMIER Cryptococcal Antigen Enzyme Immunoassay (Meridian Diagnost ics) did not give discrepant results with rheumatoid factor, syneresis fluid, or serum macroglobulins from systemic lupus erythematosis pati ents. The Cryptococcal Antigen Latex Agglutination System (Meridian Di agnostics) did cross-react with syneresis fluid but not with the other serum factors tested.
