Importance of Specific and Unspecific Tests to Diagnosis Syphilis in Blood Donors
In order to improve the laboratory diagnosis of syphilis as an infectious and contagious disease in blood donors, we performed this study to determine the reliability of the specific: Enzyme Immunoassay (Elisa) and Immune-chromatography (IC) tests, the unspecific: Venereal Disease Research Laborator...
