Use of Treponema pallidum PCR in Testing of Ulcers for Diagnosis of Primary Syphilis(1.). [PDF]

, 2015
Treponema pallidum PCR (Tp-PCR) has been noted as a valid method for diagnosing syphilis. We compared Tp-PCR to a combination of darkfield microscopy (DFM), the reference method, and serologic testing in a cohort of 273 patients from France and ...

Activation of the classical and alternative pathways of complement by Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum and Treponema vincentii [PDF]

Infection and Immunity, 1987
Both in vivo and in vitro studies have indicated that complement plays an important role in the syphilitic immune responses. Few quantitative data are available concerning activation of the classical pathway by Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum, and no information is available on treponemal activation of the alternative pathway.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Metabolome in Central Nervous System Infections: A Study of Diagnostic Accuracy

Annals of Neurology, Volume 98, Issue 4, Page 851-863, October 2025.
Objective To assess the diagnostic accuracy of metabolites in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for central nervous system (CNS) infections. Methods Patients were derived from three prospective cohort studies in the Netherlands. All studies included adults suspected of a CNS infection who underwent a diagnostic lumbar puncture.

SINGLE CELL INOCULATIONS WITH TREPONEMA PALLIDUM [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Medicine, 1934
The injection of one or several Treponema pallidum into the testicles of rabbits does not induce syphilitic infection. A negative tissue transfer experiment does not preclude the presence of Treponema pallidum in the inoculum nor does it indicate the absence of syphilis in the source animal.

Accurizing the Cause of Stillbirth Reviewed Under Maternal and Perinatal Death Surveillance and Response System Through Minimally Invasive Tissue Sampling: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Stillbirth is a public health challenge to low‐ and middle‐income countries, and the rate of stillbirths in Nepal is 15.7 per 1000 births. Stillbirths are reviewed under the maternal and perinatal death surveillance and response (MPDSR) system in Nepal, where the causes of deaths and preventive strategies should be identified, but there are ...

A Case of Miller−Fisher Overlap Syndrome With Positive Anti‐GM4 Antibody and Atypical Symptoms

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 13, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Miller−Fisher syndrome (MFS) is a recognized clinical variant of Guillain−Barré syndrome (GBS), characterized by the classic triad of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia. When accompanied by additional symptoms such as bulbar palsy, limb weakness, or lethargy, it is termed MFS overlap syndrome.

Adherence of Treponema pallidum subsp. pallidum in the Rabbit Placenta

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1994
Congenital syphilis is the consequence of transplacental passage of Treponema pallidum. A system was developed to deliver virulent T. pallidum, Nichols strain, through an isolated uterine horn of a pregnant rabbit in order to investigate the mechanism by which T. pallidum is able to cross the placenta.

Importance of extending the use of Polymerase chain reaction in the diagnosis of Venereal syphilis in a blood transfusion center in Burkina Faso, West Africa

The Pan African Medical Journal, 2014
INTRODUCTION: Due to the existence of a variety of types of non-venereal syphilis caused by the related T. pallidum, regular serological testing such as Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) and Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay Technique (CMIA) are often ...
