Objective To analyze the clinical value of treponema pallidum antibody test(TP-AB)combined with rapid plasma reagin ring card test(RPR)in serological detection of syphilis.Methods A total of 150 patients with high suspected syphilis who received outpatient treatment in our hospital from January 2021 to December 2022 were selected and given TP-AB and RPR examinations respectively.TPPA was used as the diagnostic gold standard,and the diagnostic accuracy,sensitivity and specificity of TP-AB,RPR and TP-AB+RPR were compared.The results of Kappa consistency test were analyzed.Results One hundred and sixteen cases of TPPA were positive,34 cases were negative.The diagnostic accuracy(97.3%)and sensitivity(99.1%)of TP-AB+RPR were higher than those of TP-AB(90.7%、88.0%)and RPR(91.4%、88.8%)(P<0.05).The diagnostic specificity of TP-AB+RPR(91.2%)was compared with that of TP-AB(88.2%)and RPR(85.3%)(P>0.05).The comparison between TP-AB and TPPA was generally consistent,and Kappa value was 0.603.There was no consistency between RPR and TPPA,and the Kappa value was 0.297.TP-AB+RPR was consistent with TPPA,and the Kappa value was 0.933.Conclusion The combination of TP-AB and RPR can improve the diagnostic accuracy and sensitivity of syphilis,and has important reference value.
