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.
Treponema Pallidum (TP), a spirochete bacterium with an outer envelope and a cytoplasmic membrane, is the causative agent of the venereal disease syphilis. Although syphilis rates are declining in the United States after an epidemic between 1986 and 1990, the incidence of syphilis in Europe has increased since 1992, especially in the countries of the Russia Federation, where peaks of 263 cases per 100,000 have been reported. In addition, 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.
• The Syphilis Rapid Test is intended for use with human serum or plasma specimens only.
• Only clear, non-hemolyzed specimens are recommended for use with this test. Serum or plasma should be separated as soon as possible to avoid hemolysis.
• Perform testing immediately after specimen collection. Do not leave specimens at room temperature for prolonged periods. Serum and plasma specimens may be stored at 2-8°C for up to 3 days. For long term storage, specimens should be kept below -20°C.
• Bring specimens to room temperature prior to testing. Frozen specimens must be completely thawed and mixed well prior to testing. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing of specimens.
• If specimens are to be shipped, pack them in compliance with all applicable regulations for transportation of etiological agents.
• Icteric, lipemic, hemolysed, heat treated and contaminated specimens may cause erroneous results.
Bring tests, specimens, buffer and/or controls to room temperature (15-30°C) before use.
