Analytical evaluation of nine serological assays for diagnosis of syphilis.
(2015) In Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology 29(12). p.2369-2376- Abstract
- The diagnosis of syphilis is most frequently dependent on antibody detection with serological assays. Assays for both treponemal and non-treponemal antibodies are needed to provide a sensitive and specific diagnosis. For decades, a first screening has been done with non-treponemal assays, followed by treponemal. However, in recent years, following laboratory automation, the reverse sequence screening algorithms have been developed, using a treponemal assay as the initial screening test.
