Novel methods, membrane supports and immunodiagnostic test kits for diagnosinginfection, are disclosed. The methods can also be used to monitor the progress of treatment of an infection. The methods, supports and kits employ both type-common and type-specificantigens and can conveniently be performed in a single-step assay format. The methods provide for highly accurate results and discriminate betweenType I andType II infection so that an accurate diagnosis can be accomplished.
