Abstract

Participate in this educational webinar to learn about key objects in Treponemal screening. Today's presentation will cover the following topics from the perspective of a NYC based Laboratory:

  • How to deal with the increasing incident rates and what can be done to help the rates go back down.
  • Describe the benefits of screening Treponema – starting with the IgG/IgM assay followed by a non-treponemal test. Known as the “reverse algorithm”
  • What are the current testing challenges and how do you see the challenges improving in the years to come?
  • What's needed moving forward

 

Learning Objectives

  • Discuss and identify current testing options for Treponema
  • Clarify the increased rates and how we can use testing more effectively
  • How to uncover and interpret the current testing challenges we face
