Abstract

Agglutination of sensitised sheep red blood cells by serum of patients with chronic nonspecific infectious polyarthritis was first described by Meyer, later by Vaaler. In 1948, Rose et al. described a diagnostic test for chronic nonspecific polyarthritis based on this reaction. A number of studies by I. I. Makarenko and N. G. Burkova, Y. K. Tokmachevа, V. I. Sachkov and others are devoted to this question. Much has been done to understand this reaction by N. Swartz, Schlossman, F. Kost, and others. Nowadays this reaction is known as Vaaler-Rose reaction.
