PCR-detection rates of T. pallidum ssp. pallidum in swab samples from the Czech Republic (2004–2022): Combined RPR, IgM, and PCR tests efficiently detect active syphilis

PCR-detection rates of T. pallidum ssp. pallidum in swab samples from the Czech Republic (2004–2022): Combined RPR, IgM, and PCR tests efficiently detect active syphilis

Syphilis is a multistage sexually transmitted disease caused by Treponema pallidum ssp. pallidum (TPA).
