Analysis of 3 Algorithms for Syphilis Serodiagnosis and Implications for Clinical Management

TL;DR: The research supported use of the ECDC algorithm, in which syphilis screening begins with a treponemal immunoassay that is followed by a second, different trep onemal assay as a confirmatory test in high-prevalence populations, and indicated that nontreponemals assay is unnecessary for syphilis diagnosis but can be recommended for determining serological activity and the effect of syphilis treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence and Risk Factors for the Prozone Phenomenon in Serologic Testing for Syphilis in a Large Cohort

TL;DR: TheProzone phenomenon in the RPR test was associated with the phase of syphilis, pregnancy, and neurosyphilis as well as a range of RPR titers between 1:8 and 1:512, in contrast to previous reports that the prozone phenomenon is associated with very high RPR Titers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ischemic stroke as a primary symptom of neurosyphilis among HIV-negative emergency patients

TL;DR: In clinical practice, particularly during emergencies, any ischemic stroke patient should be screened for neurosyphilis, especially during emergencies when patients are initially suspected of neurosyphilitic isChemic stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of a colloidal gold-immunochromatography assay to detect immunoglobulin G antibodies to Treponema pallidum with TPN17 and TPN47

TL;DR: The GICA test is convenient, fast, and inexpensive, and it can be used both as a confirmatory test and a screening indicator, instead of FTA-Abs TP-IgG.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of a colloidal gold immunochromatography assay in the detection of Treponema pallidum specific IgM antibody in syphilis serofast reaction patients: a serologic marker for the relapse and infection of syphilis

TL;DR: The GICA TP-IgM-positive result demonstrated that active T. pallidum remained in the bodies of SSR patients, and can be used as a serologic marker for the relapse and infection of syphilis in place of the conventional FTA-Abs IgM test.
