The macroscopic rapid plasma reagin (RPR) and reagin screen (RST) card tests for syphilis were compared. Test specimens were also examined with the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) microscopic slide test; those reactive in the card or slide tests were examined with the fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorption (FTA-ABS) procedure. Agreement between the card tests with 2,300 specimens was 99%; among all three reagin tests it was 96.3%. With 348 specimens reactive in one or more of the tests, there was 75.6% agreement among all three tests. The FTA-ABS was reactive with 71% of the RPR- or RST- and 65% of the VDRL-reactive specimens. The comparison showed that the card tests give results in close agreement with those of VDRL while offering a number of practical advantages over it.
