Abstract

The Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay is currently being studied for use in diagnosing gonococcal urethritis/cervicitis syndromes and as a screening test for gonococcal cervicitis. Experience shows that the test can be adapted to office use by private physicians, providing rapid, accurate results in situations where laboratory facilities are unavailable. Further modifications are improving the speed and interpretation of results.

Abstract

The Limulus amebocyte lysate (LAL) assay is the most sensitive method currently available for the detection of bacterial endotoxin and is the official test for detecting the presence of pyrogens in pharmaceuticals. Although its value in detecting gram-negative infections is a controversial issue, the test can be used by the practicing physician as an adjunct to accepted diagnostic methods in selected clinical situations.
