title: [Results of study of the diagnostic efficiency of the new linear enzyme immunoassay test system "INNO-Lia Syphilis Score"].
abstract: A comparative study of 224 serum samples certified in different serological tests for syphilis has established the high diagnostic effectiveness of the new linear enzyme immunoassay test system (immune blotting assay "Improved INNO-Lia Syphilis ("IMMO-Lia Syphilis Score")) (Immunogenetics, Gent, Belgium). The assay showed a 100% sensitivity and 98% specificity; the reproducibility of positive and negative results was 100%. It is proposed to use the test system in the laboratories engaged in the expert diagnosis of syphilis as an additional or alternative Treponema pallidum immobilization test and immunofluorescence test supporting the assay of serum or plasma samples for this infection, which has yielded positive results on screening.
