| Description | Using the Captia Select Syph-G enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), we analyzed the sera of 1,771 patients from a high-risk population attending sexually transmitted disease (STD) clinics. We conclude that the Captia SelectSyph-G ELISA is a reliable tool for syphilis testing in a high-risk population and recommend the utilization of the Captia SelectSyph-G ELISA as a confirmatory test in at-risk patients. |
