Evaluation of a new rapid plasma reagin card test as a screening test for syphilis.
This study evaluates the American Dade (Biokit Laboratories) rapid plasma reagin (Dade RPR) card test, currently used in Spain for the diagnosis of syphilis, which has been recently released to the U.S. market. Used as a basis for comparison with the Dade card test were the 18-mm standard rapid plasma reagin (standard RPR) card test and the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) slide test...
متن کاملEvaluation of reagin screen, a new serological test for syphilis.
A total of 1,020 serum and plasma specimens were tested using the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL), Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) card, Reagin Screen (RST) and Fluorescent Treponemal Antibody-Absorption (FTA-ABS) tests. In 257 normal patients, all screening tests were nonreactive; the FTA-ABS test was reactive for one patient. In 588 patients with treated and untreated syphilis, the RST ...
متن کاملEDTA-treated plasma in the rapid plasma reagin card test and the toluidine red unheated serum test for serodiagnosis of syphilis.
Both the rapid plasma reagin (RPR) 18-mm circle card test and the toluidine red unheated serum test (TRUST) were designed to be more rapid than the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory slide test for the serodiagnosis of syphilis. The RPR card test, although originally designed as the teardrop card test for use with plasma, has received recognition from the Centers for Disease Control as a stan...
متن کاملRapid reagin test with unheated serum and new improved antigen suspension.
THE rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test for syphilis (1) was developed chiefly to per¬ mit rapid and economical screening of large numbers of persons so that reactors could be given immediate specific and prophylactic treat¬ ment. Experience has indicated the value of the test for examining migratory workers (2). It has also been found useful in testing inmates at the Cook County Jail in Chicago and...
متن کاملComparison of serum and plasma specimens for syphilis serology using the reagin screen test.
One serum and three plasma samples were obtained from each of 125 normal individuals and from 140 patients with treated or untreated syphilis. Serum samples were tested by the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) test and by the Reagin Screen Test (RST). Plasma specimens were tested only with the RST. When tested within 24 h after collection, all specimens from normal individuals were no...
