Abstract
A comparison of current serologic tests for syphilis shows that treponemal tests are preferable to reagin tests in detecting specific antibodies, but that reagin tests are best for determining the response to treatment. The newly developed fta-absorption technique is suggested as a reliable, inexpensive test for treponemal antibodies.Mesh:
