N S Shahid, and A N Alam, and K Haider, and C Henning, and L Gothefors, and W B Greenough

Tracheal aspirates from patients with diarrhoea and pneumonia were tested for the presence of pneumococci by both quantitative culture and counter immunoelectrophoresis (CIE). Antigen was demonstrated by CIE in 33/48 of these confirmed cases of pneumonia. The technique is easy to use and gives rapid results.
