Laboratory diagnosis of syphilis is usually accomplished by serology. There are currently a large number of different commercial treponemal tests available that vary in format, sensitivity and specificity.
To evaluate the ID-PaGIA Syphilis Antibody Test as an alternative to other specific treponemal tests for primary screening or confirmation of diagnosis.
Serum samples from healthy adults (n = 100) were used for detection of specificity of ID-PaGIA. To evaluate sensitivity of ID-PaGIA serum samples (n = 101) from patients with confirmed or suspected syphilis were tested for syphilis antibodies with FTA-Abs IgM, ID-PaGIA, ELISA IgM and TPHA tests.
No false-positive results were found with ID-PaGIA. Sensitivity of various treponemal tests was the following: FTA-Abs IgM: 95.5%, ID-PaGIA and ELISA IgM: 94%, and TPHA 75%. The positive and negative predictive values of ID-PaGIA were 100 and 89.5%, respectively.
Compared with other treponemal tests ID-PaGIA has excellent sensitivity and specificity.
梅毒的实验室诊断通常通过血清学来完成。目前有大量不同的商业化密螺旋体检测方法,它们在格式、灵敏度和特异性方面存在差异。
评估 ID-PaGIA 梅毒抗体检测作为其他特定密螺旋体检测的替代方法,用于初筛或诊断确认。
使用来自健康成年人的血清样本(n = 100)评估 ID-PaGIA 的特异性。为了评估 ID-PaGIA 的灵敏度,对来自确诊或疑似梅毒患者的血清样本(n = 101)进行了 FTA-Abs IgM、ID-PaGIA、ELISA IgM 和 TPHA 检测。
ID-PaGIA 未出现假阳性结果。各种密螺旋体检测的灵敏度如下:FTA-Abs IgM:95.5%,ID-PaGIA 和 ELISA IgM:94%,TPHA 为 75%。ID-PaGIA 的阳性和阴性预测值分别为 100%和 89.5%。
与其他密螺旋体检测相比,ID-PaGIA 具有出色的灵敏度和特异性。
