Negative Latex-Fixation Test in Psoriatic Arthritis

open access: closedArchives of Dermatology, 1961
The ability of rheumatoid serum to cause nonspecific agglutination of fine particulate matter was first noted by Cecil in 1930, 1 who studied the effects of rheumatoid sera on certain strains of streptococci. Since that time many tests for rheumatoid arthritis, which are dependent on that phenomenon, have been developed.

Comparison between a New Card Test and the Latex Fixation Test for the Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis

open access: closedAmerican Journal of Clinical Pathology, 1971
A card test, designed to simplify performance of the latex fixation test on serum, was evaluated by comparison with the standard latex fixation test (technic of Singer and Plotz6). Both tests were made on 152 sera from patients with rheumatoid arthritis and 145 sera from patients with cirrhosis. Results of both the card test and the latex fixation test

Latex Slide Fixation Test in Dermatology

Archives of Dermatology, 1960
Because of the continued interest and concern of the dermatologist in lupus erythematosus, he must be aware also of the developments in rheumatology. Frequently arthritis may precede the onset of the cutaneous phase of lupus erythematosus, and it is of interest to determine whether this is rheumatoid arthritis or that of lupus erythematosus.
