We evaluated a prototype immunochromatographic strip (ICS) test for qualitative detection of Treponema pallidum antibodies in 353 sera from 157 patients. For sera from 43 syphilis patients, the ICSs were reactive, while for sera from 114 patients without syphilis, including 22 with biologically false-positive Rapid Plasma Reagin test results, the ICSs were nonreactive. The ICS test may expand the available options for serological testing for syphilis.
我们评估了一种用于定性检测157例患者353份血清中梅毒螺旋体抗体的免疫层析试纸条(ICS)检测原型。对于43例梅毒患者的血清,ICS呈阳性反应;而对于114例非梅毒患者的血清,包括22例快速血浆反应素试验结果为生物学假阳性的患者,ICS呈阴性反应。ICS检测可能会增加梅毒血清学检测的可用选项。
