General information

Syphilis Rapid Test utilizes a double antigen combination of a Syphilis antigen coated particle and Syphilis antigen immobilized on membrane to detect TP antibodies (IgG and IgM) qualitatively and selectively in whole blood, serum or plasma. The infection remains detectable until the patient receives adequate treatment. With minimal training required, this test supports timely intervention, promoting better patient outcomes and reducing the spread of infection.

Syphilis is a highly contagious bacterial infection typically spread through sexual contact, caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Known as a “silent infection” due to its subtle early symptoms, syphilis progresses through stages if untreated, leading to severe complications, including organ damage, neurological issues, and increased risk of HIV transmission.

Treponema Pallidum (TP) is the causative agent of the venereal disease Syphilis. TP is a spirochete bacterium with an outer envelope and a cytoplasmic membrane. Relatively little is known about the organism in comparison with other bacterial pathogens. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the number of cases of Syphilis infection has markedly increased since 1985. Some key factors that have contributed to this rise include the crack cocaine epidemic and the high incidence of prostitution among drug users.

Early and accurate testing is essential for managing syphilis effectively. Rapid syphilis tests have become an invaluable tool, delivering fast and reliable results in minutes. These tests enable healthcare providers to diagnose and initiate treatment on the spot, helping reduce the spread of the infection and prevent long-term health impacts.
