Example sentencesExamples - An 18-year-old woman presented for her first prenatal visit at 31 weeks' gestation, at which time she was reactive for rapid plasmin reagin and had a 2 + fluorescent treponemal antibody.
- The results of a VDRL test and rapid plasma reagin were negative.
- The mother was O Rh-positive, antibody screen negative, rapid plasma reagin nonreactive, hepatitis B surface antigen negative.
- An infant born to a seroreactive mother should be evaluated with a quantitative non-treponemal serologic test (e.g., rapid plasma reagin or VDRL).
- Blood work, including rapid plasma reagin for syphilis and heavy metal screening, had been reported as normal.
- 1.1 The substance in the blood which is responsible for a positive response to the Wassermann test.
as modifier a reagin test count noun reagins are measured by either complement fixation or flocculation tests Example sentencesExamples - This reaction is the basis of traditional nontreponemal tests such as the VDRL test and rapid plasma reagin test.
- These tests used either complement fixation or flocculation techniques (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory [VDRL], rapid plasma reagin test, and automated reagin test).
- The rapid plasmin reagin test was negative.
- Even without a confirmatory rapid plasma reagin test or darkfield examination of the gummatous discharge, the diagnosis of secondary syphilis was obvious.
- The patient's angiotensin-converting enzyme level was slightly elevated, and the rapid plasma reagin test was nonreactive.
Derivatives adjective Medicine For example, foods induce respiratory symptoms by both reaginic and nonreaginic mechanisms; moreover, food allergies commonly coexist with inhalant allergies. Example sentencesExamples - Mice produced reaginic antibody within 1 wk of painting with the contact sensitizing agent picryl chloride.
- Reaginic reactions are responsible for such allergic phenomena as urticaria, seasonal rhinitis, and asthma.
