摘要: 目的:比较老年人梅毒筛查阳性与确认指标之间的关系,分析各检测指标在老年梅毒诊断的临床价值。方法:用酶联免疫吸附试验及甲苯胺红试验作为梅毒筛查,对老年人阳性标本用梅毒螺旋体明胶凝集试验检测,两种方法均为阳性者用荧光梅毒螺旋体抗体吸收法(FTA-ABS)检测及蛋白质印迹法(WB)确认,并对实验结果进行统计分析。结果:对酶联免疫吸附试验筛查梅毒的76例老年人阳性标本,用梅毒螺旋体明胶凝集试验检测有72例阳性,阳性符合率94.7%;两种方法均为阳性的72例标本经FTA-ABS及WB检测确证阳性71例,阳性符合率98.6%;并且FTA-ABS检测与WB检测结果一致。结论:为了提高老年人梅毒的检出率及正确性,对梅毒筛查阳性标本,应用TPPA进行确证,有疑义者用FTA-ABS或WB进行进一步检测确证。Abstract: Objective: To compare the results by screening tests and confirmatory tests,and to evaluate the methods of detecting Treponema pallidum in the elderly.Methods: The positive samples detected by screening tests with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and syphilis toluidine red untreated serum test were respectively confirmed by treponema pallidum particle agglutination(TPPA),fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test(FTA-ABS) and Western blotting(WB),and then the results were analyzed statistically.Results: Seventy-two of the 76 samples were detected positive by TPPA in screening tests(94.7%,72/76).Of the 72 positive samples by TPPA,71 were simultaneously confirmed by FTA-ABS and WB assays(98.6%,71/72).Conclusions: The positive samples of Treponema pallidum detected by screening tests in the elderly must be confirmed by TPPA assay and even by FTA-ABS and WB assays if needed.
