Retrospective Analysis of Reverse Syphilis Algorithm in Relation to Screen Cutoff Values

Traditionally, syphilis serologic screening has been performed using a nontreponemal test followed by a confirmatory treponemal test. In recent years, many clinical laboratories have implemented a reverse screening algorithm, in which sera are screened using an automated treponemal test. The present study is aiming at revisiting the performance of reverse algorithm and analyzing its relation to screen cutoff values. All requests …
