Frequency of false positive responses in patients with multiple positive reactions in patch test
Background and aim: Contact dermatitis is an inflammatory skin response due to contact with environmental materials manifested as acute or chronic eczema. Patch test is the standard test to recognize responsible allergen. The objective of this study was to evaluate the frequency of false positive patch test responses in patients with Exited Skin Syndrome (ESS).Materials...
متن کاملBiological false positive Wassermann reactions in Uganda.
In a country like Uganda where syphilis is common, yaws occurs, and many of the diseases known to cause false positive Wassermann reactions (such as malaria, leprosy, relapsing fever, smallpox vaccination, trypanosomiasis, lymphogranuloma venereum, and infectious hepatitis) exist, it seemed desirable to obtain some background information about the frequency of positive serological tests for syp...
متن کاملStreptococcus pyogenes streptolysin O as a cause of false-positive CAMP reactions.
The synergistic hemolysis of sheep erythrocytes in the CAMP reaction by the sequential action of staphylococcal beta-lysin and the CAMP factor of group B streptococci is the only known function of this extracellular product of group B streptococci. The reaction forms the basis of the CAMP test used to identify group B streptococci because the CAMP factor is believed to be restricted to this gro...
متن کاملBifidobacterial lipoglycan as a new cause for false-positive platelia Aspergillus enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay reactivity.
We previously hypothesized that a lipoglycan of Bifidobacterium bifidum subsp. pennsylvanicum cross-reacts with the Platelia Aspergillus (PA) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) based on the presence of galactofuranosyl epitopes in the cell wall (M. A. S. H. Mennink-Kersten, R. R. Klont, A. Warris, H. J. M. Op den Camp, and P. E. Verweij, Lancet 363:325-327, 2004). We tested this hypothes...
متن کاملAgeing and false positive reactions for syphilis.
Biological false positive reactors for syphilis (BFP) are defined as those patients having reagin demonstrated by positive serological tests for syphilis and non-reactive treponemal antibody tests. Acute biological false-positive reactions (ABFP) terminate in 1 to 6 months. Patients in whom reagin persists longer than 6 months are considered to have chronic reactions (CBFP). Harvey (1962) stres...
