A multi-country comparative study of two treponemal tests for the serodiagnosis of syphilis amongst men who have sex with men (MSM): Chemo-luminescent assay vs Treponema pallidum particle agglutination assay [PDF]
Introduction International guidelines recommend routine screening for syphilis (aetiological agent: Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum) amongst key populations and vulnerable populations using tests detecting treponemal and non-treponemal antibodies.

Evaluation of the Diagnostic Algorithms for Serodiagnosis of Syphilis
We analyzed the performance parameters of the traditional and reverse algorithms to determine which is more convenient for serodiagnosis of syphilis. In total, 4,789 serum samples were obtained from a cross-sectional study. Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL), Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay (TPHA), and chemiluminescent microparticle ...

The tradition algorithm approach underestimates the prevalence of serodiagnosis of syphilis in HIV-infected individuals. [PDF]
Currently, there are three algorithms for screening of syphilis: traditional algorithm, reverse algorithm and European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) algorithm. To date, there is not a generally recognized diagnostic algorithm.

Liposomes: from August Wassermann to Vaccines Against COVID-19 [PDF]
Background and Purpose: The development of vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus has become a big challenge for many countries in 2020-2022. mRNA vaccines were shown to be effective and safe and have been widely used worldwide in the fight against the ...

Fleming Test in Serodiagnosis of Syphilis [PDF]
To the Editor:— A communication from Dr. Bernard Oettinger calls my attention to an omission in my article on serum diagnosis of syphilis (The Journal, August 27, 1910) I quoted Bassett-Smith as having found the Fleming modification unsatisfactory. In a later communication Bassett-Smith revises his previous opinion of the Fleming test as the result of

Recombinant antigen-based immuno-slot blot method for serodiagnosis of syphilis [PDF]
Three recombinant antigens of Treponema pallidum Nichols strain were fused with GST, cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, resulting in high levels of GST-rTp47 and GST-rTp17 expression, and supplementation with arginine tRNA for the AGR codon was ...
