[The direct diagnosis of syphilis--modern standards and directions of development].
The methods of direct diagnosis of syphilis developed slowly, in contrast to dynamic development of serological diagnosis of the disease. The authors present modern modes of identification of Treponema pallidum and directions of their modifications. The cultivation of Treponema pallidum in vitro, the different methods of nucleic acids amplifications and their practical application are discussed.
