treponeme การใช้

• All nontreponemal tests measure immunoglobulins G ( IgG ) and M ( IgM ) anti-lipid antibodies formed by the host in response both to lipoidal material released from damaged host cells early in infection and to lipid from the cell surfaces of the treponeme itself.
• In contrast, treponemal tests look for antibodies that are a direct result of the infection thus, anti-treponeme IgG, IgM and to a lesser degree IgA . Nontreponemal tests are screening tests, very rapid and relatively simple, but need to be confirmed by treponemal tests.
