A review of the reactive serological tests for syphilis was carried out. An overall seroreactivity of 5.1% was obtained over the 10-year period reviewed. A subtle but steady rise in the incidence of syphilitic infections was noted, from 7 to 10 new cases per 1000 population between 1970 and 1975. The predictive characteristics obtained from the screening tests show that the tests are reliable diagnostic tests when the results are carefully interpreted, and the medical personnel can be alerted of the prevalence of syphilitic infections.
对梅毒的反应性血清学检测进行了综述。在回顾的10年期间，总体血清反应率为5.1%。注意到梅毒感染发病率有细微但持续的上升，从1970年至1975年期间每1000人口中有7例新发病例增至10例。从筛查检测中获得的预测特征表明，当对结果进行仔细解读时，这些检测是可靠的诊断检测，并且可以提醒医务人员注意梅毒感染的流行情况。
