According to G. Richter's observations (report in Zentr. F. Gyn., 1923, No. 35), in assessing this value, a strict distinction must be made between pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy, on the one hand, and pregnant women in the later stages, and also by women in labor and parturient women shortly after childbirth, on the other: while in the former a positive RW indicates the presence of lues, in the latter it cannot be given the same diagnostic value to a positive result.
