Prevalence of syphilis and associated factors in the adult population treated at healthcare facilities in Vitória (ES), Brazil

DST, 2022
Introduction: There are few population-sampling studies on the prevalence of syphilis in Brazil. Objectives: We aim to determine the seroprevalence of syphilis and identify factors associated with the infection in adult patients observed at six regional

Exosomal miR‐1246 in Syphilis Serofast State: Diagnostic Value and NLRP3 Inflammasome Suppression

Immunity, Inflammation and Disease, Volume 14, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Serofast state (SF), defined as persistent low‐titer antibodies after treatment, poses a diagnostic challenge because of the overlap with serologic features of active infection. Exosomal miRNAs are stable in body fluids and have potential as diagnostic markers.

A Four‐Item Risk Score to Target Acute HIV Infection Testing Among Men Who Have Sex With Men in Indonesia: Development and Validation in the INTERACT Prospective Cohort

Journal of the International AIDS Society, Volume 29, Issue 4, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Indonesia has an escalated HIV epidemic among key populations, especially men who have sex with men (MSM). Diagnosis and immediate treatment of acute HIV infection (AHI), the earliest phase with the highest transmission risk, is beneficial for individual health and can reduce onward transmission.

Expanded Functional Characterization and Optimization of Protein Expression in Treponema denticola Shuttle Plasmids

Molecular Oral Microbiology, Volume 41, Issue 2, Page 69-84, April 2026.
We report optimization of the Treponema denticola shuttle plasmid system by minimizing its size and by characterizing an array of promoter‐gene constructs for genetic complementation, including the first use in Treponema of a Tet‐inducible system for controlled expression of potentially toxic genes.

Prevalence and Temporal Trends of Transfusion‐Transmissible Infections Among Blood Donors in a Municipal Hospital in Navrongo, Ghana: A Retrospective Study (2018–2024)

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aim Blood transfusion is a vital and life‐saving procedure, saving millions of lives across the world every year. However, it also presents a significant risk of spreading transfusion‐transmissible infections (TTIs) such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and syphilis ...

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 ...

Low syphilis treatment rates and associated birth outcomes in pregnant women with and without HIV in Zambia: A cohort study

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, Volume 172, Issue 3, Page 1569-1575, March 2026.
Abstract Objective Syphilis and HIV in pregnancy contribute to adverse birth outcomes in Africa. Benzathine penicillin G remains an effective treatment for syphilis in pregnancy, yet gaps persist in timely treatment. The aim of this study was to compare factors associated with adverse birth outcomes among pregnant women diagnosed with syphilis in ...

High prevalence of co-infections with latent tuberculosis, syphilis and hepatitis B and C among people with HIV in Ghana: a call for integrating screening into routine care

AIDS Research and Therapy
Background People with HIV (PWH) are at risk of co-infections, such as latent tuberculosis (LTBI), hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), and syphilis; hence, routine screening is critical.
