Genital Herpes and the FTA-ABS

ZANE A. BROWN, MD, FACOG and MORTON A. STENCHEVER, MD, FACOG

From the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at University of Utah College of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah.

Abstract

The fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorption test (FTA-ABS) was obtained on a series of 55 healthy men and women with documented recurrent genital herpes. In contrast to a previous report indicating that a significant number of these patients demonstrated a false positive FTA-ABS, the present series failed to confirm these findings. Of interest, however, was the high incidence of borderline FTA-ABS tests seen in both the control group and the group with herpes. The significance and use of the FTA-ABS are briefly discussed.
