A note on the course of reagin titres in chronic biologic false positive reactors.
It is well known that some sera giving false positive reactions with the standard serological tests for syphilis (STS) show a pattern which is very seldom found in syphilitic sera, while in other falsely reacting sera the strength or pattern of the STS give no clue to specificity. Less attention seems to have been paid to the course of the STS titres in chronic positive STS reactors who are neg...
متن کاملThe impact of combined antiretroviral therapy on biologic false-positive rapid plasma reagin serologies in a longitudinal cohort of HIV-infected persons.
BACKGROUND Our objective was to determine the impact of combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) and the degree of immunosuppression on biologic false-positive (BFP) rapid plasma reagin (RPR) tests among persons infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). METHODS This was a nested retrospective study of HIV-infected patients enrolled in the Johns Hopkins HIV Clinical Cohort. BFP RPR wa...
متن کاملLow frequency of chronic biological false positive reactors to serological tests for syphilis in rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis.
In the so-called collagen diseases there is considerable overlapping of both clinical signs and serological phenomena. Elevated serum globulins, L.E.-cells, rheumatoid factors, and chronic biological false positive (CBFP) serological reactions for syphilis have been observed both in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The frequency of RA among CBFPreactors has b...
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 کاملEffect of 2-mercaptoethanol treatment on anticardiolipin reactivity in sera from syphilitics and false positive reactors.
In a previous paper, Tringali, Del Carpio, and Gismmanco (1966) reported that treatment of sera with 2-Mercaptoethanol (2-ME) caused a disappearance of non-syphilitic anticardiolipin reactivity, usually referred to as T'false positive" (EP) reactivity, as detected in a complement-fixation assay, However, similar treatment did not abolish the reactivity of syphilitic sera in the samie assay. Thi...
