What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- Due to the recent resurgence of infectious syphilis in Canada and the changing epidemiology of the disease to involve heterosexuals and females of child bearing age leading to a record number of congenital syphilis cases and stillbirths, the demand of a rapid test such as POCT that can be used at the place and time that front-line public health workers meet the at risk population is getting louder. Indeed during a number of federal, provincial and territorial meetings on the control of syphilis outbreaks in Canada, requests for POCT to detect syphilis infections have repeatedly come up.
