Syphilis rapid test results may be influenced by numerous environmental and genetic factors.
The proportion of false positive syphilis non-treponemal (NT) and treponemal (T) test results using immuno-chromatographic dual syphilis rapid test on serum from Cameroonian blacks (n=103) versus French blacks (n=104) or French caucasians (n=51), all HIV-negative and free of clinical syphilis, was examined.
Black individuals in Cameroon had a significantly higher frequency of false positive NT or T tests than black individuals in France. black individuals in France had a higher frequency of indeterminate NT tests as compared to caucasians in France.
Both racial and environmental factors may affect immuno-chromatographic dual syphilis rapid testing.
梅毒快速检测结果可能受到众多环境和遗传因素的影响。
对喀麦隆黑人(n = 103)、法国黑人(n = 104)或法国高加索人(n = 51)的血清进行免疫层析双梅毒快速检测,所有受试者均为HIV阴性且无临床梅毒,检查梅毒非梅毒螺旋体(NT)和梅毒螺旋体(T)检测结果的假阳性比例。
喀麦隆的黑人NT或T检测假阳性频率显著高于法国的黑人。与法国的高加索人相比,法国的黑人NT检测不确定频率更高。
种族和环境因素均可能影响免疫层析双梅毒快速检测。
