Abstract：
BACKGROUND:The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of colloidal gold probes widely used in histochemistry and electronic microscopy for the serologic diagnosis of syphilis. METHODS:One hundred eighty-nine sera which had been submitted to the traditional fluorescent trigenemic absorption (FTA-ABS) test and had later been tested with the new colloidal gold probe method (IAT-ABS). RESULTS:Out of a total of 103 positive samples by FTA-ABS all were positive when tested by gold immunoprobes (sensitivity 100%). Eighty-six samples which were negative by immunofluorescence were all negative by IAT-ABS (specificity 100%). CONCLUSIONS:The new method of colloidal gold probes with the current microscopy is useful for confirming serologic diagnosis of syphilis.
