Treponemal haemagglutination test.
The introduction of the treponemal immobilization (TPI) test by Nelson and Mayer (1949) provided the first verification test for syphilis which proved fully acceptable to the clinician. After 20 years it is still accepted by a large body of opinion as the verification test of choice for the diagnosis of latent and late syphilis. The test's characteristic of becoming positive towards the end of ...
متن کاملFluorescent treponemal antibody inhibition test.
The fluorescent treponemal antibody (FTA-200) test has been shown to detect at least two types of antibody in syphilitic serum; one of these, which can be removed by absorption with Reiter treponemes, is thought to be a group antibody which reacts with an antigen shared by Treponema pallidum and other treponemes (Deacon and Hunter, 1962). A second antibody, which remains after such an absorptio...
متن کاملHemagglutination treponemal test for syphilis.
Sera from 290 hospital patients were tested to compare the sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility of the hemagglutination treponemal test for syphilis (HATTS) with the fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test (FTA-ABS). Complete agreement was obtained between the methods when 142 syphilitic sera from patients with various stages of syphilis were tested. By using clinical histories...

متن کاملStudies on the treponemal immobilization test.
Since the introduction of a serological test for syphilis by Wassermann, Neisser, and Bruck (1906), an immense amount of work has been carried out to improve tests for the detection of " reagin" in the sera of patients with syphilis. The relationship of reagin to the T. pallidum is still not settled with certainty and, although tests for the detection of this substance have reached a high degre...
