Pre-Columbian treponemal infection in Denmark?- a paleopathological and archaeometric approach
The aim of this paper is to investigate five new cases of possible treponematosis in early medieval Denmark. A total of 1018 skeletons from Danish and present day German cemeteries have been examined, and five candidates of pre-Columbian individuals have been selected from three Danish burial sites on Funen, Jutland and Zealand. The five individuals with a possible infection with treponematoses...
متن کاملInfluence of genital herpes on results of fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test.
Both the fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTS-ABS) test and Venereal Disease Laboratory (VDRL) test for syphilis were performed routinely on 113 men with histories of genital ulcerations. The difference in negative VDRL and borderline FTS-ABS results between patients with and without herpes simplex virus in their genital ulcers and no evidence of previous or untreated syphilis was no...
متن کاملTreponematosis and African Slavery.
The so-called unitarian (or unicist) concept of treponematosis emphasizes the evolutionary relationship of yaws, pinta, endemic syphilis, and sporadic syphilis, regarding them all as varieties or syndromes of one disease caused by one parasite, Treponema pallidum (Hudson, 1946). The unitarian view accepts the fact that there is no known test by which the parasites of these treponemal infections...
متن کاملIgM-FTA test in syphilis in adults. Its relation to clinical findings.
IgM-FTA tests have been carried out on 209 sera from 169 patients with treated or untreated syphilis at various stages and on 128 sera from 109 patients, born in areas where yaws is or was prevalent, with treated or untreated latent treponemal disease. IgM anti-treponemal antibody was found in virtually all cases of untreated early or early latent syphilis but in only 23 per cent. of sera from ...
متن کاملMicroenzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the detection of specific IgM antibodies in human syphilis.
An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) using a highly purified soluble antigen prepared from pathogenic Treponema pallidum (Nichols) was carried out to detect specific IgM antibodies in syphilis. Serum specimens from 365 patients with untreated or treated syphilis were tested by the ELISA and by the 19S(IgM) fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorbed test. In the ELISA sera were preabsorbed...
