Diagnostic capabilities of non-treponemal and treponemal reactions in the early forms of syphilis

Journal Title: Медичні перспективи - Year 2017, Vol 22, Issue 4

Abstract

A comparative analysis of the sensitivity and specificity of immunoblotting against other non-treponemal and treponemal reactions was carried out in 215 patients with early forms of syphilis. A high diagnostic efficiency of immunoblotting in patients with early latent syphilis was established. It was found that only in case of primary syphilis, immunoblotting is inferior to Immunofluorescence reaction; this test can be used for differential diagnosis between hidden syphilis and false positive reactions to syphilis.
