Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the best experimental technique with high-sensitivity and specificity for enhancing positive rate of syphilis screen test and preventing the blood dissemination of this disease.Methods Comparison of the results of TP-ELISA,TRUST and TPPA methods of syphilis examination was performed.Results Using three methods to exam 43,323 samples,299 samples were for positive syphilis.Among them, 294 positive samples with the ELISA method,the positive rate of syphilis test was 98.33%(294/299):92 positive samples with TRUST method,the positive rate only 30.77%(92/299);239 positive samples with TPPA method,the positive rate 79.93%(239/299).Conclusion TP-ELISA method with high sensitivity is suitable for the instrument standardization and data preservation,which is an ideal method for blood screen test of syphilis.For guarantee of blood safety and conventience and economic benefit of blood syphilis screen test, it is the best way to use both TP-ELISA and TRUST methods.The specificity of TPPA method is perfect, which is suitable for confirmation test of syphilis positive samples.
