ABSTRACT

The first used serologic marker in the selection of the blood donors, has been put under the own evolution of the technology, initiates test to detect antibodies produced against specific for pathogenic treponemes, continuous a test to detect antibodies produced agains nonspecific treponemal antigens, that is, the cardiolipin or lipoidal antigen test («reagin test») and finalizes the century returning to its origins. The strong campaigns to eradicate this pathology of the earth face, have entailed to the practical disappearance of the reports of incidence associated to the transfusion. This has put in judgment fabric the benefit of its use like tamizaje test. To use it or not to use it, this is the dilemma.
