British Columbia’s Experience after Implementation of the Treponema pallidum Reverse Algorithm and PCR Detection, 2015 to 2020
ABSTRACT British Columbia (BC) implemented the syphilis reverse screening algorithm and Treponema pallidum PCR testing in 2014. We summarize the performance characteristics of the algorithm, together with PCR direct detection, and report on syphilis cases identified from 2015 to 2020. Prior to 2015,...
