After a preliminary study of 557 sera used as a procedural training exercise, the Reagin screen test (RST) for the macroscopic detection of reagin (as an aid to detecting syphilis) was qualitatively compared to the rapid plasma Reagin (RPR) (circle) card test and Veneral Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) slide test on 435 random portions of sera using fluorescent treponemal antibody adsorption (FTA-ABS) results as a comparative base. A comparison of total agreement (positive and negative) with the FTA-ABS results led to the following order. RPRCT (I5.5%), VDRL (79.8%), and RST (74.5%). Of the total samples shown to be reactive by the FTA-ABS procedure, the percentage of these interpreted as nonreactive (i.e., "false negative") by the procedures compared was considerably higher with the RST procedure (29.3%) than with either the RPRCT (10.9%) or the VDRL (7.1%) procedures. Minor problems encountered with procedural techniques are also mentioned.
在对用作程序训练练习的557份血清进行初步研究后，将用于宏观检测反应素（作为检测梅毒的辅助手段）的反应素筛查试验（RST）与快速血浆反应素（RPR）（环状）卡片试验和性病研究实验室（VDRL）玻片试验在435份随机抽取的血清样本上进行了定性比较，以荧光密螺旋体抗体吸附试验（FTA-ABS）结果作为比较基础。与FTA-ABS结果的总一致性（阳性和阴性）比较得出以下顺序：RPRCT（85.5%）、VDRL（79.8%）和RST（74.5%）。在FTA-ABS程序显示为阳性的所有样本中，与RPRCT（10.9%）或VDRL（7.1%）程序相比，RST程序将这些样本解释为非反应性（即“假阴性”）的百分比要高得多（29.3%）。文中还提到了程序技术方面遇到的一些小问题。
