SYPH-CHECK-1 is a simple and rapid test for the detection of antibodies to Treponema pallidum (Syphilis) in whole blood.

Syphilis is a veneral disease that progresses through distinct stages of infection: primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary. These stages produce diverse clinical symptoms, typically producing initial sores known as chancres then syphilitic rash followed by long periods of dormancy. Untreated infection eventually leads to cardiovascular problems and neurosyphilis. Caused by the spirochaete Treponema pallidum (TP), the infection is usually acquired by sexual contact, although the disease may be transmitted by transfusion of infected blood. Intrauterine infection also occurs. SYPH-CHECK-1® is a highly specific immunological rapid test for the detection of anti-TP antibodies with a fingerprick whole blood sample
