An increasing number of institutions are transitioning from the traditional syphilis testing algorithm (initial screening with nontreponemal tests) to the 'reverse' algorithm (initial screening with treponemal tests such as syphilis IgG). The aim of this study was to evaluate the switch in syphilis ...
Context: -Syphilis serology screening in laboratory practice is evolving. Traditionally, the syphilis screening algorithm begins with a nontreponemal immunoassay, which is manually performed by a laboratory technologist. In contrast, the reverse algorithm begins with a treponemal immunoassay, which can be...
Clinical laboratories primarily use the reverse algorithm to screen for syphilis; however, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend the traditional algorithm. Both algorithms require the interpretation of 2 different serologic assays for screening and confirmation. Serologic testing used in ...
Since 2006, Georgia has ranked in the top 10 states for primary and secondary (P&S) Syphilis. According to 2009 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Georgia currently ranks number 2 for P&S syphilis. Since that time it has been determined that men who have sex...

Methods: The traditional algorithm for syphilis begins testing with the non-treponemal test. If the non-treponemal test is reactive, a treponemal test is then used to confirm syphilis infection. The reverse algorithm for syphilis begins testing with the treponemal test. If this test is reactive, ...
Traditionally, its seeds have been utilized to address rectal prolapse, scabies, and syphilis. Our proposed model achieved an impressive identification accuracy of 99.96% for this specific Ethiopian indigenous medicinal plant, with confidence intervals of 100%. Figure 4B features Calpurnia aurea, along ...
