Abstract

The author studied 1,000 women in labor by performing Wassermann (WaR), Meinicke (MTR) and Sachs-Klopstock (SaKIR) reactions on the ulnar vein blood. At the same time, umbilical cord blood was examined for spirochaetes. The author's main objective was to decide whether a nonspecific reaction is obtained in pregnancy. He detected spirochaetes most often when all three, or at least two, reactions were positive. On the contrary, in none of the cases where only WaR was positive were spirochaetes detected.
