Multi-site Study of Rapid Diagnostic Syphilis Assays

September 6, 2012 updated by: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention

Multi-site Study of Rapid Diagnostic Syphilis Assays of Persons Attending STD Clinics in High Syphilis Morbidity Areas

The performance of an investigational immunochromatographic strip (ICS) test for the diagnosis of syphilis is compared with the Abbott Laboratories Determine ICS test. The study population consists of patients with and without syphilis presenting to sexually transmitted disease clinics in five cities in the United States. Specimens include finger-stick whole blood (investigational test only) and whole blood, plasma, and serum by venipuncture.
