摘 要：Syphilis is a type of sexually transmitted infectious disease caused by the bacteria Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum. The infection spreads mainly through sexual contact. Congenital syphilis, however, affects infants by transmission of the infection from the infected mother to the fetus. Rate of syphilis infection is high among men and particularly in those men who have sex with men. In 2014, worldwide, around 36 million people were infected by syphilis. The global burden of syphilis is gradually increasing. Unprotected sex and sexual intercourse with multiple partners infected by syphilis are the key factors that contribute to spread of infection. However, early diagnosis of the infection enables quick recovery from the disease. Testing methods employed for syphilis detection include: enzyme immunoassay (EIA) test, venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) test, rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test, and point of care (POC) test kits.
