The purpose of this work was to determine the kinetics of antibodies in mediterranean spotted fever as determined by three serologic methods: indirect fluorescent antibody test, latex agglutination test and indirect hemagglutination test. No difference was noticed in the early kinetics but after 6 months, the latex agglutination test and the indirect hemagglutination test did not detect antibodies but the indirect fluorescent antibody test was still positive. This reaction is convenient for seroepidemiologic studies.
