Unreferenced date October 2006 Serostatus is a term used to refer to the presence or absence of specific substances in the blood serum . Most commonly, this medical test is looking for specific antibodies in an effort to diagnose a particular disease. A person s test results can be seropositive or seronegative or indeterminate. Seronegative refers to the absence of the specific antibodies or other substance that were being tested for. Seropositive refers to the presence of the specific antibodies that were being tested for. These tests are most commonly used to identify HIV infection and to find rheumatoid factor , although it is possible to apply this concept to hundreds of other diseases and medical conditions. To understand the result, it is necessary to know what antibodies the test was looking for, because a person who is seropositive for any one condition is not any more likely to be seropositive for another, unrelated condition.

Seroconversion is the development of detectable specific antibodies to microorganism s in the blood plasma blood serum as a result of infection or immunization . Serology the testing for antibodies is used to determine antibody positivity. Prior to seroconversion, the blood test is seronegative for the antibody after seroconversion, the blood test is seropositive for the antibody. The word is often used in reference to blood testing for anti HIV antibodies. In particular, seroconverted has been used to refer to the process of having become HIV positive. ref http www.avclub.com content node 92431 ref ref http www.thestranger.com seattle SavageLove?oid 6064090 ref Syn date December 2010 Seroreversion is the opposite of seroconversion.

This explains why many childhood diseases never recur in adulthood and when they do, it generally indicates immunosuppression or failure of a vaccine . In the initial primary infection phase of the infection, immunoglobulin M IgM antibodies are produced and as these levels drop and become undetectable immunoglobulin G IgG levels rise and remain detectable. Upon reinfection, IgM antibodies usually do not rise again but IgG levels will increase.

It is caused by infection with a spirochete , Treponema pallidum Treponema pallidum carateum , which is Comparative anatomy morphologically and serology serologically indistinguishable from the organism that causes syphilis . Presentation Pinta is thought to be transmitted by skin to skin contact similar to bejel and yaws , and after an incubation period of two to three weeks, produces a raised papule , which enlarges and becomes hyperkeratotic scaly flaky . Three to nine months later further thickened and flat lesions pintids appear all over the body. These generally resolve, but a proportion of people with pinta will go on to develop late stage disease, characterised by widespread pigmentary change with a mixture of hyperpigmentation and depigmentation which can be disfiguring. Diagnosis Diagnosis is usually clinical, but as with yaws and bejel , serology serological tests for syphilis such as Rapid Plasma Reagin RPR and TPHA will be positive, and the spirochaetes can be seen on dark field microscopy of samples taken from the early papules. Treatment The disease can be treated with penicillin , tetracycline , or chloramphenicol , and can be prevented through contact tracing by public health officials.

William Augustus Hinton 15 December 1883, Chicago, Illinois 1959, Canton, Massachusetts was a black Microbiology bacteriologist , Pathology pathologist and educator. Hinton was the first black professor in the history of Harvard University . A pioneer in the field of public health, Hinton developed a test for syphilis which, because of its accuracy, was used by the United States Public Health Service . Education He studied at the University of Kansas before transferring to Harvard University , where he earned a B.S. degree in 1905. Following his graduation, he taught in Tennessee and Oklahoma. During the summers he continued his studies in bacteriology and physiology at the University of Chicago . In 1909, Hinton enrolled in Harvard Medical School . With the aid of two prestigious scholarships he was able to graduate with honors in 1912. Early career Hinton returned to Harvard Medical School in 1918 as an instructor in preventive medicine and hygiene. In 1921 he began teaching bacteriology and immunology subjects he would teach at Harvard for over thirty years. International Recognition Hinton became internationally known as an expert in the diagnosis and treatment of syphilis. His serological test for syphilis, which proved to be more accurate than currently accepted tests, was endorsed by the U.S. Public Health Service in 1934. Hinton s test also was simple, quick, and unambiguous. In 1936 Hinton published the first medical textbook by a black American Syphilis and Its Treatment . Hinton turned down the NAACP s 1938 Spingarn Medal award because he wanted his work to stand on its own merit he was concerned that his work would not be as well received if it was widely known in his profession that he was black.

Refimprove date March 2009 A titer or titre is a way of expressing concentration . Titer testing employs serial dilution to obtain approximate quantitative information from an analytical procedure that inherently only evaluates as positive or negative. The titer corresponds to the highest dilution factor that still yields a positive reading. For example, positive readings in the first 8 serial twofold dilutions translate into a titer of Ratio 1 256 i.e, 2 sup 8 sup . Examples A specific example is a viral titer , which is the lowest concentration of virus that still infects cells. To determine the titer, several dilutions are prepared, such as 10 sup 1 sup , 10 sup 2 sup , 10 sup 3 sup ,...,10 sup 8 sup . The titer of a fat is the temperature, in degrees Celsius, at which it solidifies. The higher the titer, the harder the fat.

Salicylate testing is a category of drug testing that is focused on detecting salicylates such as salicylic acid acetysalicylic acid for either biochemical or medical purposes. Analytical Salicylates can be identified by Gas chromatography mass spectrometry GC MS , proton NMR , and Infrared spectroscopy IR . In Vitro One of the first in vitro tests for aspirin was through the Trinder reaction . Aqueous Ferric chloride was added to a urine sample, and the formation of the iron complex turned the solution purple. This test was not specific to acetylsalicylic acid , but would occur in the presence of any phenol or enol . The downfall of this test occurs in the presence of hyperbilirubinemia, or elevated bilirubin . When the level of bilirubin exceeds 1 Milligram mg Litre dl , a false positive could occur.
