Disease staging: CliniCal anD CoDeD Criteria - HCUP

Convalescent/Acute Phase serology:
To demonstrate an immunological response to an infectious agent a blood sample is
taken during the acute illness and stored for several weeks. A second blood sample
is taken during convalescence, and both are analyzed in the same batch. A rise in
antibody titer ratio of ≥ 4 which represents two successive dilutions is interpreted as
an immunological response.
