Evaluation of a minimal array of Treponema pallidum antigens as biomarkers for syphilis diagnosis, infection staging, and response to treatment

Microbiology Spectrum
Syphilis is a multistage chronic sexually transmitted infection caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum (T. pallidum). Today, syphilis is still endemic in low- and middle-income nations and has become resurgent in many high-income ...

One-step treponemal vs. non-treponemal antibody antenatal screening, and syphilis serodiagnosis using the traditional algorithm against the reverse algorithm in a high HIV prevalence setting [PDF]

Infectious Diseases and Tropical Medicine
Objective: No single serology test on its own can confirm a syphilis diagnosis. We assessed the utility of a reactive treponemal test (TT) against a non-treponemal test (NTT), each as a sole indicator of infection warranting immediate treatment and the ...
