Advantage of a routine Reiter protein complement-fixation test in the serodiagnosis of syphilis in pregnancy.
One hundred and twenty-seven (0.3%) reactive serological tests for syphilis were obtained by routine examination of sera from 35,912 antenatal patients.Forty-eight (38%) of these reactive sera were associated with reactive fluorescent treponemal antibody and Treponema pallidum immobilization results and these patients were therefore considered to show serological evidence of treponemal infectio...
متن کاملThe Reiter protein complement-fixation test using the Auto-Analyzer.
A method for the Reiter protein complement-fixation test using the Techncon AutoAnalyzer is described. Two hundred and fifty sera were tested, when six false-positive and nine false-negative results were obtained when compared with results obtained by the manual method. Deep freezing the sera before testing on the AutoAnalyzer increased the sensitivity so that in a further 250 sera tested no fa...
متن کاملFalse positive reactions to the Reiter protein complement-fixation (RPCF) test.
As previously reported (Pillot, Betz, Colombani, and Ripault, 1965), the Reiter Protein ComplementFixation (RPCF) test gives false positive reactions in 0 05 to 0 5 per cent. of cases as a consequence of an antipolysaccharide antibody present in the serum of some individuals. Since, during the years 1960-67, we have performed this test routinely on every patient hospitalized in our clinic, we h...
متن کاملSpecificity and sensitivity of the Reiter protein complement-fixation (RPCF) test. Report on 1,400 selected sera.
The reliability of the sero-diagnosis of syphilis depends on the specificity and the sensitivity of the tests used. The specificity of a test is determined by the nature of the antigen; the sensitivity depends mainly on the technique by which the test is performed. The most specific though not the most sensitive test at the moment is, without doubt, the T. pallidum immobilization (TPI) test of ...
متن کاملAn examination of the treponemal Wassermann reaction and Reiter protein complement-fixation test.
Less than one year after the description of the Treponema pallidum by Schaudinn and Hoffman, the first report of the application of the complementfixation reaction of Bordet and Gengou (1901) to the diagnosis of human syphilis was published in Budapest by Detre (1906), exactly 2 weeks after the appearance of the classical paper "A Sero-diagnostic Reaction in Syphilis" by Wassermann, Neisser, an...
