A multi-country comparative study of two treponemal tests for the serodiagnosis of Syphilis amongst Men Who Have Sex with Men (MSM): Chemo-luminescent assay vs Treponema pallidum passive particle agglutination assay

Abstract: Introduction: International guidelines recommend routine screening for syphilis (aetiological agent: Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum) amongst key populations and vulnerable populations using tests detecting treponemal and non-treponemal antibodies. Whilst treponemal tests have high sensitivities and specificities, they differ regarding subjective or objective interpretation, throughput and workload. Chemiluminescence immunoassays (CLIAs) are cost- and time-effective automated methods for detecting trepo… Show more
