The Course of the Serologic Tests during Therapeutic Malaria in Patients with Syphilis

Abstract: IN connection with investigations onthe role of malaria in the treatment of syphilis, changes were noted in the quantitative serologic tests during the course of the induced infections. These findings form the basis for this report.We know of no previous systematic study of the effect of malarial infection upon the quantitative determination of reagin in the serum of patients with syphilis. On the other hand, the development of a false positive serologic test for syphilis during the course of malaria in non-lu… Show more
