Abstract
The possibility of using the passivo microhaemagglutinatíon reaction for Treponema pallidum (MHPTP) as a routine diagnostic procedure is examined. MHPTP was compared with flocculation, complement-fixation and indirect immunofluorescence reactions in 344 sera from blood-bank donors and patients suffering from syphilis and some other diseases, ln the blood-bank donor g roup, the MHPTP agreed 100% with indirect immunofluorescence reaction but not with complemen t fixation or flocculation testo In th e group of patients with clinical diagnosis of syphilis, there was total agreement among the four reactions.
