ABSTRACT

Laboratory diagnosis of syphilis is usually accomplished by serology. No false-positive results were found with ID-PaGIA and compared with other treponemal tests ID-PaGIA has excellent sensitivity and specificity. Advantages of the PaGIA are the fast reaction time of only 20 minutes, the simplicity of the procedure with minimal technical equipment, the possibility of automated readings, to mantain a record and, thus, traceability. It has been clear that the low-prevalence population had higher percentage of false-positive tests results.
