  • Title: Use of Oral Fluid With a Rapid Treponemal Test for Syphilis Evaluation.
    Author: Bristow CC, Shannon C, Herbst de Cortina S, Klausner JD.
    Journal: Sex Transm Dis; 2018 Sep; 45(9):e65-e67. PubMed ID: 29596225.
    Abstract:
    We aimed to determine if rapid treponemal tests intended for whole-blood specimens could be used to detect treponemal antibody in oral fluid. We found a high sensitivity of oral fluid rapid testing, which increased with increasing rapid plasma reagin titer, suggesting potential for the development of accurate rapid oral syphilis tests.
