Planner (Wien. Klin. Woch., 1929, no. 36) tried Luotest (extract of syphilitic rabbit testicle) with luetin reaction in 106 cases of tertiary and late congenital syphilis, receiving 80% positive results. Since the luetin reaction in experiments a. coincided with RW only in 70%, giving often positive results with negative RW, then a. highly recommends introducing it into syphilis serology along with RW.
