Correct answer: D. All of the above tests

  • A. Compliment fixation tests
  • B. Pili agglutination tests
  • C. Haemagglutination tests
  • D. All of the above tests

Explanation

Older serological approaches to gonorrhoea included complement fixation, agglutination against gonococcal pili and haemagglutination tests, making all listed methods relevant in the historical context of this question. Modern diagnosis relies mainly on NAAT, culture and microscopy rather than these serological tests.
