What happens if syphilis is not treated?
Syphilis is easily cured with antibiotics in the early stages. Left untreated, syphilis can cause tumors, blindness, and paralysis, damage the nervous system, brain, and other organs, and may even kill you. if you are pregnant and have syphilis that is not treated, it can be passed to the baby during pregnancy or birth - called congenital syphilis. Congenital syphilis can lead to stillbirth, birth defects, or infant death.

Procedure
Bring tests, specimens, buffer, and/or controls to room temperature (15-30'C) before use.
1. Remove the test from its sealed pouch, and place it on a clean, level surface. Label the device with patient or control identification. For best results, the assay should be performed within one hour.
2. Using the provided disposable pipette, transfer 3 drops of serum/plasma/whole blood specimen (approximately 75 ul) to the sample pad of the strip and start the timer. Avoid trapping air bubbles in the specimen well (S), and do not add any solution to the result area. As the test begins to work, you will see color move across the membrane.
3. Wait for the colored band(s) to appear. The result should be read at 10 minutes. Do not interpret the result after 20 minutes.
