Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate diagnostic performances of automated chemiluminescence immunoassay (CLIA) in comparison with Treponema pallidum hemagglutination test (TPHA). The specificity of CLIA was 98.9% and 99.6% for TPHA, whereas the sensitivity was 98% and 96%, respectively. Considering the suitability for automation, CLIA may represent a suitable alternative.
