Hemagglutination 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 کاملHeated versus unheated sera in the hemagglutination treponemal test for syphilis.
Sera (920) were tested to evaluate the use of heated versus unheated sera in the hemagglutination treponemal test for syphilis. The heated and unheated samples were tested on the same day with the hemagglutination treponemal test for syphilis kit according to the manufacturer's protocol. Agreement of results between the heated and unheated sera was 99.2%. The reading pattern of agglutination wa...

متن کاملFalse-positive reactions in the rapid plasma reagin-card, fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorbed, and hemagglutination treponemal syphilis serology tests.
Sera from 628 nonsyphilitic individuals were tested with the Rapid Plasma Reagin-Card, Fluorescent Treponemal Antibody-Absorbed, and Hemagglutination Treponemal Test for Syphilis tests to ascertain the comparative specificity of these tests. Many sera were also tested with the quantitative Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test. Sera included in the study were from both normal individuals an...
متن کاملTreponemal antibody-absorbent enzyme immunoassay for syphilis.
An enzyme immunoassay for the diagnosis of syphilis (ELISA-SY) was developed with solid-phase extracts of Treponema pallidum, specimen diluent containing Reiter treponeme absorbent, and three 30-min incubations. The ELISA-SY results were determined in comparison with a standardized positive control and reported as a percentage of strong positive control. In tests with 1,005 serum samples from a...
