Only in the event that one of these tests was positive would a specific TT be used for confirmation.</p><p id="par0060" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">NTTs are useful for detecting the existence of active syphilis infection, as a positive result is indicative of the presence of tissue damage. Moreover, these tests serve to determine the possibility of reinfection with past syphilis, as well as to assess the effectiveness of clinical response to treatment. The quantitative test result increases early in the course of infection, stabilizes in the secondary phase, and then gradually decreases over time, even without treatment. Clinical guidelines advise follow-up using the same NTT, whether the RPR or VDRL test, to avoid quantitative variations in the results. Seroconversion of these tests normally occurs in the first 21 days after exposure, but patients can convert to positive up to 6 weeks after infection, resulting in a delay in diagnosis. The advantage of NTTs is that they are cheap and easy to perform. The main limitation is the possibility of numerous cases of false positives resulting from viral infections, pregnancy, malignant neoplasms, autoimmune diseases, advanced age, among others.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a></p><p id="par0065" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">The TTs, or specific tests, are more used for confirming diagnosis of syphilis in patients with positive RPR or VDRL findings, as well as to rule out false positives in NTT. Classic TTs include fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-ABS), <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">T. pallidum</span> particle agglutination (TPPA), and <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">T. pallidum</span> hemagglutination (TPHA). The drawback of these techniques is that they require expert personnel to carry them out and interpret the results. TTs detect in an exclusively quantitative manner the presence of IgG and IgM antibodies specific to components of <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">T. pallidum</span> using recombinant antigens.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0020"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4–6</span></a> The main drawback of TTs is that the quantitative results do not correlate well with disease activity and do not allow differentiation between treated and active syphilis, as patients infected with syphilis usually remain reactive for life despite appropriate treatment.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0015"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3–5</span></a> The essential advantage of TTs, in addition to their high sensitivity and specificity, is that these test are positive early in the course of infection. Antitreponemal IgM and IgG antibodies can be detected within 2 days of the onset of clinical symptoms, that is, between 2 and 4 weeks after initial infection.<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0025"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5,6</span></a></p><p id="par0070" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Nowadays, new automated TTs are available.

The automated <span class="elsevierStyleItalic">T. pallidum</span> enzyme-linked immunoassay (EIA) and/or chemiluminiscence Immunoassay (CLIA) are particularly noteworthy given their widespread use. These developments have led to replacement of the traditional algorithm with the reverse algorithm or the algorithm proposed by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), which are similar to the algorithm used in our hospital (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#fig0025">Figs. 5 and 6</a>).<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0010"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a></p><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0025"></elsevierMultimedia><elsevierMultimedia ident="fig0030"></elsevierMultimedia><p id="par0075" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">These new algorithms start with a TT (TPPA, EIA, CLIA).
