Reiter haemagglutination test: a screening test for syphilis.
Using an ultrasonicate of the Reiter treponeme as antigen the Reiter haemagglutination test (RHA) was evaluated as a serological test for syphilis. Comparison of the results of the cardiolipin Wassermann reaction, Reiter protein complement-fixation test, the fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorbed (FTA-ABS) test, the Treponema pallidum haemagglutination test (TPHA) (at dilutions of 1/16 and 1/...
متن کاملTreponema pallidum haemagglutination test as a screening procedure for the diagnosis of syphilis.
The serological diagnosis of syphilis relies upon the widespread use of non-specific screenig tests, such as the cardiolipin Wassermann reaction (CWR) and the Venereal Diseases Research Laboratory (VDRL) slide test, in combination with the Reiter protein complement-fixation (RPCF) test (British Cooperative Clinical Group, 1972). Where necessary, the fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorbed (FTA...
متن کاملTreponema pallidum haemagglutination assay in the routine serodiagnosis of treponemal disease.
A passive haemagglutination test using sheep erythrocytes sensitised with Treponema pallidum extract was introduced into syphilis serology by Rathlev (1965, 1967). Shortly afterwards, Tomizawa and Kasamatsu (1966) and Tomizawa, Kasamatsu, and Yamaya (1969) described a similar test, the Treponema pallidum haemagglutination assay (TPHA), and this was further developed as an automated quantitative...
متن کاملScreening tests for syphilis. A comparison of the Treponema pallidum haemagglutination assay with two automated serological tests.
Two Treponema pallidum haemagglutination assay (TPHA) tests (Wellcome and Fuzizoki) were compared with the automated reagin test and the automated Reiter protein complement-fixation test in a routine screening system. The Wellcome TPHA was shown to lack sensitivity, and it is recommended that it should be used at a lower screening dilution. The Fuzizoki TPHA recorded a significant number of fal...
متن کاملTreponema pallidum haemagglutination test for syphilis. Evaluation of a modified micro-method.
Passive haemagglutination of erythrocytes sensitized with antigen is an extremely sensitive method for the detection of antibody. Its application to the serological diagnosis of syphilis was first reported by Rathlev (1965, 1967), using a haemagglutination technique for the detection of specific antitreponemal antibody in which formolized tanned sheep cells sensitized with ultrasonicated materi...
