Other tests All other serological test are performed at reference laboratories. 10mL clotted blood should be sent and must be accompanied by a separate request card for each test requested.
Request cards must have full clinical details. Especially important is the date of onset of the illness.

(Convalescent sera should not be collected earlier than 10 days after the onset of the illness.)
