Results of their serological follow-up were compared with those of -negative clinic patients at the time of treatment. Failure was defined as lack of a fourfold drop in rapid plasma reagin (RPR) titre by 400 days after treatment or a fourfold increased titre between 30 and 400 days.: Of ...
linked immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA) could be caused by hemolysis. The RPR had low sensitivity in suspected syphilis neonates, and the colloidal gold test (SYP) was suitable for emergency treatment. The treponema pallidum particle agglutination test (TPPA) was fit for the diagnosis of syphilis [...
Syphilis seropositivity was detected in overall 2.9‰ (N = 148) of the cases. RPR-negative cases, i.e. past infections were confirmed in 36% (53/148); weak-reactive RPR (titres≤8) cases, i. e. past/early acute infections in 37% (55/148); strong-reactive RPR (titres>8) cas...
Results of their serological follow-up were compared with those of HIV-negative clinic patients at the time of syphilis treatment. Failure was defined as lack of a fourfold drop in rapid plasma reagin (RPR) titre by 400 days after treatment or a fourfold increased titre between 30 and 400 ...
Introduction Successful treatment response for early syphilis involves resolution of signs and a fourfold decrease in RPR/VDRL or sero-reversion between 3 and 6 months. However, in the HIV-positive population the serological response can be unusual. Aims To compare serological response after treatment...
Methodology The Picasso cohort study recruited adults with active syphilis, diagnosed either by laboratory (new seroconversions or fourfold increase in RPR) or clinical criteria (new anogenital ulcer compatible with primary syphilis). Patients underwent a short survey, clinical examination and laboratory ...

Probability of Ocular, Auditory or Neurosyphilis with Negative Serum Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) and Positive Treponemal Antibody TestsNew reverse sequence syphilis testing algorithms have detected significant numbers of serodiscordant patients with a confirmed positive treponemal tests and negative non- ...
All records of patients who, while in HIV care, either converted from being syphilis seronegative to a confirmed seropositive or were reinfected as evidenced by a fourfold increase in rapid plasma reagin (RPR) after past successful treatment, were reviewed. Results We identified 249 incident ...
