For primary syphilis, TPPA has a sensitivity of 85% to 100%, and a specificity of 98% to 100%. [2] In secondary and late-latent syphilis, TPPA has a sensitivity of 98% to 100%. [2] Antibodies against other treponemal organisms, such as the T. pallidum subspecies endemicum, pertenue, or carateum, can cause false positive results.
The rapid plasma reagin test (RPR test or RPR titer) is a type of rapid diagnostic test that looks for non-specific antibodies in the blood of the patient that may indicate an infection by syphilis or related non-venereal treponematoses. It is one of several nontreponemal tests for syphilis (along with the Wassermann test and the VDRL test).
The recent sequencing of the genomes of several spirochetes permits a thorough analysis of the similarities and differences within this bacterial phylum and within the species. [47] [48] [49] The chromosomes of the T. pallidum species are small, about 1.14 Mbp. It has one of the smallest bacterial genomes and has limited metabolic capabilities ...
TPPA may refer to: Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement, a trade agreement; Treponema pallidum particle agglutination assay, a test for the causative agent of syphilis
"The timing [difference] between Michael and Charlie I had to get used to. Michael is a fast guy, Charlie is mmmhmmm, " she continued. "So [the challenge] was really having to get my timing better.
Keep in mind that there is a difference between “controllable” events and those that are not. Staffing or maintenance problems are considered controllable, for instance. But a hurricane ...
The different vaccines currently utilized do not appear to have significant differences in seroconversion rates when compared in similar population groups. [48] Seroconversion does not necessarily occur at the same rate to all COVID-19 antigens. Individuals who seroconvert more rapidly to different antigens may have different disease courses.
