INTENDED USE
This kit is applicable to in vitro qualitative detection of antibody to treponema pallidum in human
serum/plasma/whole blood sample, and it’s used for auxiliary diagnosis of treponema pallidum antibody infection.
This kit only provides treponema pallidum antibody detection result, and results obtained shall be used in
combination with other clinical information for analysis. It must only be used by healthcare professionals.
SUMMARY
Syphilis is a chronic infectious disease caused by treponema pallidum, which is mainly spread through direct sexual
contact. TP can be also passed to the next generation via the placenta, which leads to stillbirth, premature delivery,
and infants with congenital syphilis. The incubation period of TP is 9-90 days with an average of 3 weeks. Morbidity
normally occurs 2-4 weeks upon infection of syphilis. In normal infection, TP-IgM can be detected first, which
disappears upon effective treatment. TP-IgG can be detected upon occurrence of IgM, which may exist for relatively
long time. Detection of TP infection is still one of the bases of clinical diagnosis by now. Detection of TP antibody
is of great significance to prevention of TP transmission and treatment of TP antibody.
