Syphilis serology today.

Serologic testing is an important adjunct in the diagnosis and management of syphilis. In this review, the various currently used serologic tests, both non-treponemal and treponemal, are considered. Special emphasis is placed on their relative advantages, applications, and limitations. Conditions under which these tests may be falsely positive are discussed. Additional diagnostic tools cited are the dark-field examination, for use in early-lesion syphilis, and cytological and immunochemical techniques for determining potentially active neurosyphilis. The analysis of every serologic report, and its correlation to the historical, epidemiological, and clinical findings, is highlighted.

Laboratory diagnosis in the problem of suspected gonococcal infection.

Proper laboratory techniques are indispensable for the diagnosis and detection of gonorrhea. While the smear is efficacious in diagnosing symptomatic urethral gonorrhea in men, it is not reliable for cervical, rectal, pharyngeal, or asymptomatic urethral infection. We have seen the development of four systems of culturing geared toward the office practitioner or where a complete laboratory is not available. They are as follows: Transgrow (transport), Neigon JEMBEC (transport or nontransport), Isocult, and Microcult systems. The Neigon JEMBEC system offers a good choice for the office practitioner. The use of proper diagnostic and culturing techniques and routine screening should bring about an increase in the amount of gonorrhea detected, treated, and subsequently removed from the reservoir of infection.
