Chronic biological false-positive reactions to serological tests for syphilis in blood donors.
Problem sera from 375 blood donors were investigated for biological false-positive reactions to serological tests for syphilis. Problem sera are those sera in which submitting laboratories have found a reactive result to a screening test for syphilis. On each serum a cardiolipin Wassermann reaction, a Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test, a Reiter protein-complement fixation test, a Trepon...
متن کاملSyphilis Serology among HIV-Seroreactive Patients
Sexually transmitted diseases (STD’s), including Syphilis, are associated with an increased risk of Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Though Rapid Plasma Reagin test (RPR) is a screening test to diagnose syphilis, a negative RPR may not rule out syphilis in HIV sero-reactive patients. For laboratory confirmation, one specific treponemal test, namely Treponema Pallidum Haemagglutinat...
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...
متن کاملSerological tests for syphilis in Saudi Arabia.
A total of 6684 sera were initially screened for syphilis by the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) test and the Treponema pallidum haemagglutination assay (TPHA). Reactive sera from either or both these tests were tested for confirmation by the fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorbed (FTA-ABS) test. VDRL biological false positive reactors were detected in 0.5% of the total sera exami...
متن کاملEssential mixed cryoglobulinaemia with false-positive serological tests for syphilis.
Analysis of serum from a patient with cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis showed a mixed cryoglobulin with a monoclonal IgM kappa-antiglobulin component (6.5 mg/ml), strong rheumatoid factor activity (latex titre 1/5000), and positive serological tests for syphilis (fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorbed and Treponema pallidum haemagglutination assay). After removal of antiglobulin activity...
