Gonorrhea card test: an agglutination test for uncomplicated gonorrhea. 1978

K Kamei, and N Chen, and H A Gaafar

An antigen extracted and purified from Neisseria gonorrhoeae B370, type 4, was employed to sensitize charcoal particles for use in an agglutination assay of human sera for antibodies that indicate active gonorrheal infection. The screening card test is more sensitive than the fluorescent gonorrheal test-heated (FGT-H), especially in men. A simple one-step absorption improved the specificity without reducing the sensitivity of the test.
