Positive A. phagocytophilum IFA test. In this test, serum from the patient is overlaid onto a monolayer of cells infected by the target organism. Binding of specific antibody is visualized by the use of a secondary antiserum conjugated to fluorescein and observation of the slide under light of an appropriate wavelength.
