[The passive hemagglutination test in the diagnosis of syphilis]. 1978

G Tringali

Studies were carried out on the comparative value of passive haemaglutination, cardiolipin and treponema tests in a total number of 4327 sera syphilitic patients in various stages of the disease and apparently normal subjects or free of syphilis. The results demonstrated the specificity and sensitivity of passive haemagglutination in all the stages of syphilis. In view of the qualities and simplicity of the test, the author recommends it as a screening test combined with a micromethod using the cardiolipin antigen (flocculation test).

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D003168	Complement Fixation Tests	Serologic tests based on inactivation of complement by the antigen-antibody complex (stage 1). Binding of free complement can be visualized by addition of a second antigen-antibody system such as red cells and appropriate red cell antibody (hemolysin) requiring complement for its completion (stage 2). Failure of the red cells to lyse indicates that a specific antigen-antibody reaction has taken place in stage 1. If red cells lyse, free complement is present indicating no antigen-antibody reaction occurred in stage 1.

D005428	Flocculation Tests	Precipitin tests which occur over a narrow range of antigen-antibody ratio, due chiefly to peculiarities of the antibody (precipitin). (From Stedman, 26th ed)	Flocculation Test,Test, Flocculation,Tests, Flocculation
D005455	Fluorescent Antibody Technique	Test for tissue antigen using either a direct method, by conjugation of antibody with fluorescent dye (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, DIRECT) or an indirect method, by formation of antigen-antibody complex which is then labeled with fluorescein-conjugated anti-immunoglobulin antibody (FLUORESCENT ANTIBODY TECHNIQUE, INDIRECT). The tissue is then examined by fluorescence microscopy.

D014209	Treponema Immobilization Test	Syphilis serodiagnosis employing as the antigen Treponema pallidum obtained from rabbit syphilis orchitis. Treponemes are kept alive for a few hours in a special medium. When syphilitic serum and complement are added and incubated, the treponemes are immobilized, i.e., stop moving.
