(ie, CIA or EIA) and a negative RPR and TPPA result in low-risk patients or low-prevalence populations, clinician education on the reverse sequencing algorithm and interpretation and limitations of syphilis serologic test results in general is critical to avoid overdiagnosis or underdiagnosis and ...
Dunseth et al. underlined the necessity of differentiation between analytical false-positive results of lues tests from clinical false-positive results. A positive syphilis IgG screen with negative RPR and T. pallidum particle agglutination assay (TP-PA) confirmatory testing could be considered an analy...
n Provides objective interpretation of results that can be interfaced with LIS n Utilizes three recombinant antigens (Tp15, Tp17, and Tp47) on microparticle for improved syphilis detection n Reverse algorithm can decrease the number of false positives resulting in improved specificity and ...
Testing for syphilis--rational use and interpretation Syphilis is a disease caused by a spiral organism, Treponema pallidum. Microscopy is useful in diagnosing syphilis in its primary stage while the serological tests are used for diagnosing primary secondary or latent stages of syphilis. T... M ...
Interpretation of reactive tests Screening using an initial automated treponemal test (EIA or CLIA) is done by many laboratories, especially those with high sample volume. A negative treponemal test likely indicates the absence of syphilis and generally no further testing is required. However, recent...
INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS Negative: Only one pink band appears on test region of the Cassette. This indicates that there is no detectable anti-TP in the whole blood. Positive: Two pink bands appear on test region of the Cassette. This indicates that the specimen contains de...
Charts were reviewed for demographic and obstetrical variables, stage of syphilis at diagnosis, lab values, and treatment regimen. Newborn treatment and other outcomes were recorded. Results. During the study period 106 infected mother-baby pairs were identified. Of these, 73 cha...
