Abstract
The simultaneous occurrence of antibodies against thyroglobulin and a biologic false-positive reaction to a test for syphilis in a patient with chronic lymphoid thyroiditis is described. Antibody to thyroglobulin was localized in the 7-S fraction of serum gammaglobulin. Differentiation of Wassermann antibody from thyroid antibody was achieved by absorption of the serum with minced normal thyroid gland. The possible implications of the concurrent appearance of these two immunologic conditions is discussed.
