Abstract
This recommendation applies to all adolescents and adults who are pregnant, whether or not risk factors for syphilis are present. Screening for syphilis involves a blood test that detects antibodies that may reflect infection with Treponema pallidum, the organism that causes syphilis. Treponemal tests, such as the T pallidum particle agglutination (TP-PA) test, detect an antibody response to antigens specific to T pallidum.
