One of the modifications of Wassermann's reaction, Katzr's method, is known to focus on complement by titrating it per se in the presence of normal serum, syphilitic antigen, and antigen together with normal serum.

Sensitivity and specificity of a syphilis rapid diagnostic test in blood donors’ samples [PDF]
Rapid Diagnostic Tests (RDT) are useful to identify syphilis cases, particularly for hard-to-reach populations and if laboratory services are scarce. However, RDT performance may be suboptimal.

CONCERNING LANDAU'S COLOR TEST FOR SERODIAGNOSIS OF SYPHILIS [PDF]
Recently Landau1has described an iodin color reaction in syphilis for which he claims a high degree of specificity as compared with the Wassermann reaction. On account of the simplicity of the test and the claims made it has attracted considerable attention, so that I have thought it advisable briefly to record my observations, although they have not ...

Serodiagnosis of Syphilis in the Recombinant Era: Reversal of Fortune [PDF]
(See the article by Park et al, on pages 1297–304.) Treponema pallidum, the spirochete that causes syphilis, cannot be cultured. As a result, syphilis is usually diagnosed by tracking the immunologic footprints of its etiologic agent. Serodiagnosis of syphilis requires the detection of 2 distinct types of antibodies, nontreponemal and treponemal [1].

Evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of TpN17 and TmpA recombinant proteins in syphilis detection: a phase II study [PDF]
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the spiral bacterium Treponema pallidum. Diagnosis is based on epidemiology, clinical and serology, but serodiagnosis is challenging because distinct clinical forms of the infection may ...

A FURTHER NOTE ON LANDAU'S COLOR TEST FOR SERODIAGNOSIS OF SYPHILIS [PDF]
Shortly after the publication of my paper concerning Landau's color test for the serodiagnosis of syphilis 1 I learned that 0.1 c.c. instead of 0.01 c.c. of the 1 per cent. iodin in carbon tetrachlorid reagent should have been used with 0.2 c.c. of serum.The Journal, 2 from which I obtained this technic, had quoted from an Italian medical journal 3 ...
