This is not only because of the virulence of the spirochete which causes the infection but also because of its vertical transmission rate and the potential severe adverse complications/morbidity that can result from its transmission to the fetus. Although the incidence of maternal syphilis and its fetal sequalae in low-income countries has been considerable for several years, the disease has been almost non-existent in high income countries with wide antenatal screening coverage and effective treatment programmes for Syphilis. The recent alarming increase in the incidence of maternal syphilis in high income countries has spawned a renewed public health interest in the infection, with several countries updating and strengthening public health guidance in an attempt to stem this dramatic trend. This is a short clinical update for the practising obstetrician on how to manage the antenatal patient with a positive syphilis screening test.展开更多
目的:比较ELISA TP-IgG和快速血浆反应素试验(rap id p lasm a reagin c irc le card test,RPR)梅毒检测试剂的敏感性和特异性。方法:采用ELISA TP-IgG和RPR 2种试剂同时对56份临床疑似标本进行检测,结果阳性者采用梅毒螺旋体特异性抗...目的:比较ELISA TP-IgG和快速血浆反应素试验(rap id p lasm a reagin c irc le card test,RPR)梅毒检测试剂的敏感性和特异性。方法:采用ELISA TP-IgG和RPR 2种试剂同时对56份临床疑似标本进行检测,结果阳性者采用梅毒螺旋体特异性抗体乳胶凝集试验(Toreponem a pallidum latex immuno assay,TPLA)方法进行验证。结果:ELISA TP-IgG检测率高于RPR,且与TPLA确证实验完全吻合。结论:ELISA TP方法在敏感性和特异性方面均好于RPR方法,是临床检测梅毒感染和筛选献血员的首选方法。展开更多
