Microscopic diagnosis of Rabies – (Sellers stain compared with the Fluorescent Antibody Test).
Infect Dis J Jan ;13(2):39-40.

A retrospective study of 25,292 Sellers` stain and fluorescent antibody diagnoses of rabies revealed a sensitivity of 80.26`% and specificity of 94.59% for the Sellers` stain compared with the fluorescent antibody technique. Several pitfalls in performing these tests have been pointed out. The fluorescent antibody staining method carried out by an experienced microscopist, using a high quality conjugate, should be the preferred method for laboratory diagnosis of rabies from neural tissue.
