	Syphilis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by a spirochaete bacterium, Treponema pallidum.
		The route of transmission of syphilis is almost invariably by sexual contact; however, there are examples of direct contact infections (see yaws) and of congenital syphilis (transmission from mother to child in utero).
		Congenital syphilis is syphilis present in utero and at birth, and occurs when a child is born to a mother with secondary or tertiary syphilis.

		Syphilis is a disease caused by the spirochetal bacterium Treponema pallidum (TP).
		The AMPAC SYPHILIS Test is a solid phase immunochromatographic assay for the qualitative detection of antibodies of all isotypes (IgG, IgM, IgA) against TP.
		This test is intended for professional use as an aid in the diagnosis of syphilis.

		The test employs the use of an antibody binding protein conjugated to a colloidal gold particle and a unique conation of recombinant Syphilis peptides immobilized on the membrane.
		Once the sample is added to the test cassette along with the diluent, the mixture reacts with the conjugated colloidal gold as it reaches the "gold pad", which then binds the immunoglobulins in the sample.
		The Syphilis test is tested against positive and negative patient sera and has shown to be as sensitive as reference methods (FTA) in detecting Syphilis antibodies.

	[Clinical Preventive Services] Screening for Syphilis (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Primary syphilis produces ulcers of the genitalia, pharynx, or rectum, and secondary syphilis is characterized by contagious skin lesions, lymph- adenopathy, and condylomata lata.2 Systemic spread, including invasion of the central nervous system, can occur early in infection and may be symptomatic during early or late stages of syphilis.
		In early primary syphilis, when antibody levels may be too low to detect, results may be nonreactive, and the sensitivity of nontreponemal tests is 62-76%.10 Antibody levels rise as disease progresses; titers usually peak during secondary syphilis, when the sensitivity of nontreponemal tests approaches 100%.
		Co-infection with HIV and syphilis does not generally impair the sensitivity of syphilis testing, although there are sporadic reports of absent or delayed response to nontreponemal tests.

		HIV testing: 15% of adolescents and adults with syphilis are co-infected with HIV.
		Testing of mother's serum is preferred to testing cord blood or the infant's serum because the titers frequently are lower in the infant and may be nonreactive if the mother was infected late in pregnancy.
		Serologic tests for syphilis may be modified by the presence of HIV, usually resulting in extremely high titers and failure to decrease in response to adequate treatment.

	Congenital Syphilis --- United States, 2002
		Congenital syphilis (CS) occurs when the spirochete Treponema pallidum is transmitted from a pregnant woman with syphilis to her fetus.
		Syphilis elimination activities that might have reduced the occurrence of CS include 1) enhanced screening of women at high risk for acquiring syphilis, 2) efforts to increase provider awareness, education, and training regarding syphilis, and 3) efforts to increase awareness of the disease among communities with high rates of infection.
		Lack of prenatal care and late or limited prenatal care continue to be important factors associated with CS In 2002, a total of 29% of mothers of infants with reported CS did not receive prenatal care, and fewer than half of mothers who did receive prenatal care initiated it during their first trimester of pregnancy.

		Confirmatory and specific treponemal testing is indicated only when there has been a previous positive test result of qualitative syphilis testing (86592) and very rarely when clinical disease particularly in the central nervous system (CNS) suggests tertiary syphilitic disease of meningoencephalitis, tabes dorsalis, or general paresis, despite a negative qualitative test for syphilis (86592).
		Quantitative syphilis testing (CPT 86593) is indicated in the follow up of previous positive testing at periodic intervals not to exceed semiannually until seronegativity occurs.

	The Body: National Plan to Eliminate Syphilis
		Syphilis infection is known to increase the transmission risk of HIV, and co-infection with syphilis in people already infected with HIV can adversely impact their health status and antiretroviral therapy.
		The national plan focuses on 28 counties around the country (including King County in Washington State) that have experienced a resurgence in the number of syphilis cases in the past few years, and suggests specific strategies that local health departments can follow to eliminate syphilis in their communities.
		Important issues linked to syphilis, as reported by the CDC, are: racism and poverty, sexism and homophobia, recreational drug use and prostitution, stigma associated with STD's, government distrust (Tuskegee Study and Eugenics Movement legacies), and confidentiality of reporting.

	Syphilis test (FTA-ABS) definition - Health and Medical Information produced by doctors - MedicineNet.com
		Syphilis test (FTA-ABS): The fluorescent treponemal antibody absorbed (FTA-ABS) test for syphilis is a blood serum screening test designed to demonstrate the presence or absence of specific antibodies directed against the organism (Treponema pallidum) responsible for syphilis.
		In the middle (secondary) stage of syphilis, the FTA-ABS test is most reliable and is reportedly positive in 100% of cases.
		The FTA-ABS test is often used as a confirmatory test after first screening a patient with a VDRL (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory) or RPR (rapid plasma reagin) test, since the FTA-ABS test is more expensive and time-consuming than "non-treponemal" syphilis tests such as the VDRL and RPR.
