Intrathecal Synthesis Index of Specific Anti-Treponema IgG: a New Tool for the Diagnosis of Neurosyphilis

Intrathecal Synthesis Index of Specific Anti-Treponema IgG: a New Tool for the Diagnosis of Neurosyphilis

ABSTRACT Neurosyphilis (NS) diagnosis is challenging because clinical signs are diverse and unspecific, and a sensitive and specific laboratory test is lacking. We tested the performance of an antibody index (AI) for intrathecal synthesis of specific anti-Treponema IgG by enzyme-linked immunosorbent...
