ALVAREZ CARRASCO, Ricardo Iván. Interpretación de las pruebas diagnósticas de sífilis en gestantes Interpretation of diagnostic tests for syphilis in pregnant women. Rev. peru. ginecol. obstet.

In much of the American continent and particularly in Peru, gestational syphilis is a public health problem, which is particularly important because of the risk of infection to the fetus. Because of this, it is essential to use commonly used immunological tests that are vital to define the diagnosis and timely administration of the antibiotic treatment. The objective of this review is to disseminate the general characteristics of these tests, and their correct use and interpretation, according to current protocols.
