Double-staining procedure for the fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-ABS) test.
The fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-ABS) double-staining procedure was reproducible, comparable to the conventional test, and easy to read. We recommend the use of the FTA-ABS double-staining procedure for microscopes with incident illumination, the 100 x/1.30 oil achromatic objective and the 6.3 x ocular to obtain optimal fluorescence, and the KP560 as a barrier filter to exclu...
متن کاملFluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-ABS) test in yaws.
The pathogenic treponemes, T. pertenue and T. pallidum, produce similar antibodies in the serum of a person infected with either organism. Thus sera from patients with yaws react similarly to sera from syphilitic patients in the conventional tests for syphilis and in the Treponema pallidum immobilization (TPI) test. The most recent test developed for the detection of syphilis is the fluorescent...
متن کاملFluorescent treponemal antibody absorption double-staining test evaluation.
The fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-ABS) double-staining (DS) test has been developed for microscopes equipped with incident illumination, and the procedure offers many advantages over the FTA-ABS test when tests are performed with this equipment. In this study, 346 fresh sera, including 35 from patients with syphilis, were evaluated by the FTA-ABS DS test. Parameters for invest...
متن کاملFluorescent treponemal antibody-absorption (FTA-ABS) test in patients with aortic valvular insufficiency.
Aortic valvular insufficiency caused by syphilis cannot be differentiated by murmur or other clinical characteristics from other causes of aortic insufficiency, and the aid of serological tests is often sought. Routine serological tests for syphilis, such as the VDRL slide test, which utilize cardiolipin antigens, are reactive in only 75 to 95 per cent. of patients with cardiovascular syphilis ...
متن کاملSerological tests for treponemal infection in leprosy patients. An evaluation of the fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTA--ABS) test.
Much has been written about the biological false positive (BFP) reaction demonstrated by reagin tests applied to sera from patients suffering from leprosy. It is well known that a BFP reaction is in all but a very small minority of cases proved or disproved by recourse to specific tests for treponemal infection, i.e. the Treponema pallidum immobilization (TPI) test and/or the fluorescent trepon...
