IgM antibody reactivity to Treponema pallidum in seroconversion and in the serologic response to syphilis treatment

CONCLUSION: Tp-IgMAb detection proved to be a potential diagnostic marker for active syphilis, and IgM capture enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA-IgM) performance was similar to VDRL in post-treatment monitoring.
