INTRODUCTION
Treponema Pallidum (TP), a spirochete bacterium with an outer envelope and a cytoplasmic membrane, is the causative agent of the venereal disease syphilis.The positive rate of serological test results for syphilis in HIV-infected individuals has been rising recently.
The serological detection of specific antibodies to TP has been long recognized in the diagnosis of syphilis since the natural course of the infection is characterized by periods without clinical manifestations. The antibody response to TP can be detected within 4 to 7 days after the syphilis chancre appears, allowing early detection and diagnosis of syphilis infection.
A variety of antigens have been used in syphilis serological tests, such as Rapid Plasma Cardiolipin (RPR) or VDRL antigen, TP extracts derived from in vitro culture or inoculated rabbit testes. However, RPR and VDRL antigens are not treponemal specific, and whole TP extracts are not reproducible and contain a certain amount of contaminating materials such as flagella, which may lead to a nonspecific reaction in assays of test serum.
INTENDED USE
The Syphilis Rapid Test is a rapid visual immunoassay for the qualitative, presumptive detection of IgM and IgG antibodies to Treponema Pallidum (TP) in human serum or plasma specimens. This kit is intended for use as an aid in the diagnosis of syphilis.
