Kang's reaction

The Kang's reaction (KT) is the use of alcohol to soak the bovine heart powder, extract the phospholipid fraction as an antigen, add cholesterol to increase the sensitivity, and the antibody (reactin) in the serum to be tested, and the antigen-antibody forms a visible precipitation reaction under the action of the electrolyte. . Basic Information Specialist classification: infectious disease inspection and inspection classification: other inspection Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: Normal value: no Above normal: negative: normal. Positive: Syphilis is a positive reaction. Tips: Do not engage in unclean sex. Normal value negative. Clinical significance Syphilis is a positive reaction.

The results of the Kang's reaction cannot absolutely affirm or deny the diagnosis of syphilis, so it cannot be used as the sole basis for the diagnosis of syphilis. The other conditions must be combined to determine the final diagnosis. Because the Kang's reaction can have false positive reactions in many other diseases, such as leprosy, malaria, pneumonia, and influenza, it has been used less frequently (intervention has long been eliminated internationally).
