OUR EXPERIENCE WITH IMMUNOFLUORESCENCE (RELATING TO 250 SERA STUDIED AT THE NANCY DERMATOLOGICAL CLINIC)

Abstract

The principle of immunofluorescence, discovered by Coons in 1942, was applied to the diagnosis of syphilis by Deacon, Falcon and Harris in 1957. Borel and Durel were the first to apply this technique in France, and since then many authors have made an effort to specify the mode of execution of this technique and to determine its value (Dauget, Fribourg-Blanc, Thivolet). The research reported here, relating to 250 sera, seems to confirm the great importance of the immunofluorescence test (IF) in the diagnosis of syphilis.
