Serological screening of 1627 homosexual men visiting two saunas and two bars in Amsterdam showed that 32.2% were seroreactive for syphilis. The 18-month study period ended in June 1981. Follow-up was possible in 91% (224/245) of subjects with both positive TPHA and VDRL test results; 76 cases of previously undetected syphilis were identified among 75 of the 224 men (incidence rate 4.6%). The rate of previously undetected syphilis declined appreciably during the study period. The cost of identifying one new case of syphilis was Df1577 (pounds 120 or US $ 220).
对到访阿姆斯特丹两家桑拿浴室和两家酒吧的1627名同性恋男性进行的血清学筛查显示,32.2%的人梅毒血清反应呈阳性。这项为期18个月的研究于1981年6月结束。对梅毒螺旋体血细胞凝集试验(TPHA)和性病研究实验室试验(VDRL)结果均呈阳性的91%(224/245)的受试者进行了随访;在224名男性中的75人里发现了76例之前未被检测出的梅毒病例(发病率为4.6%)。在研究期间,之前未被检测出的梅毒发病率显著下降。确认一例新梅毒病例的成本为1577荷兰盾(120英镑或220美元)。
