The tradition algorithm approach underestimates the prevalence of serodiagnosis of syphilis in HIV-infected individuals [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2017 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.

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]
BMC Infectious DiseasesIntroduction 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.

Performance of Treponema pallidum recombinant proteins in the serological diagnosis of syphilis.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Syphilis serodiagnosis is challenging because distinct clinical forms of the infection may influence serological performance and discordant results between tests make clinical decisions difficult.

Evaluating Frequency, Diagnostic Quality, and Cost of Lyme Borreliosis Testing in Germany: A Retrospective Model Analysis [PDF]
Journal of Immunology Research, Volume 2012, Issue 1, 2012., 2012 Background. Data on the economic impact of Lyme borreliosis (LB) on European health care systems is scarce. This project focused on the epidemiology and costs for laboratory testing in LB patients in Germany. Materials and Methods. We performed a sentinel analysis of epidemiological and medicoeconomic data for 2007 and 2008.

Recombinant antigen-based immuno-slot blot method for serodiagnosis of syphilis [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2004 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 ...
