  • Title: Early syphilis in a man with a negative Treponema pallidum enzyme immunoassay-IgM.
    Author: McCarty EJ, Keane H, Quinn K, Dinsmore WW.
    Journal: Int J STD AIDS; 2011 Sep; 22(9):529-30. PubMed ID: 21890555.
    Abstract:
    Most serological tests for syphilis rely on an individual's ability to produce antibodies. A single screening test may be unreliable for screening in those with primary immunodeficiency. We present the first reported case of primary and secondary syphilis with negative Treponema pallidum enzyme immunoassay-IgM and Venereal Disease Research Laboratory tests in a man with common variable immunodeficiency.
