Abstract

Amaç: Sifiliz serolojisi pozitif sonuç veren hastalarda ‘Human Immunodeficiency Virus’ (HIV) seroprevalansının
araştırılmasıdır.
Gereç ve yöntem: ‘Rapid plasma reagin’ (RPR) ve/veya ‘Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay’ (TPHA)
testleri ile pozitif sonuç vermiş 105 (%8,4) serum örneği, HIV-1/2 hızlı test (INSTI HIV1/HIV2 Antibody Test, Bartel
Inc. USA) ile test edilmiş, pozitif sonuç veren serumlar ile ‘enzyme linked immuno-sorbent assay’ (ELISA) ve
doğrulama testi olarak ‘western blot’ (WB) testleri yapılmıştır. Pozitif sonuç veren örnekler treponemal testler olan
‘Serodia Treponema pallidum particle agglutination’(TP.PA) (Serodia-TP.PA, Fujirebio Inc., Japan); ‘Murex Syphilis
ICE’ (ICE), IgG+IgM (ELISA), (ICE Syphilis Detection Pack, Murex Biotech Limited, Dartford, UK); ‘Enzywell
TP’(TP), IgG+M (ELISA) (Diesse, Sienna, Italy); ‘Captia Syphilis-M’(CS-M) (IgM) (ELISA) (CaptiaTMSyphilis-M,
Trinity Biotech plc, Ireland) ve ‘fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption assay’ (FTA-abs) (MastaflourTM-FTA-ABS,
Mast Diagnostics, UK) ile de test edilmiştir.
Bulgular: RPR testi pozitif ve TPHA negatif sonuç veren iki örnekte anti-HIV hem ELISA hem de WB testleri ile
pozitif olarak saptanmıştır. Bu serumlar ile ayrıca yapılan TP.PA, ICE, TP, CS-M ve FTA-abs testleri de negatif sonuç vermiştir ve RPR ile elde edilen pozitif sonuçlar, biyolojik yalancı pozitif (BYP-BFP) reaksiyon olarak değerlendirilmişlerdir. Sifiliz serolojisi pozitif olan hiçbir serum örneğinde anti-HIV antikorları saptanmamıştır. Sonuç: Seksüel yolla bulaşan hastalığa (STD) sahip hastalar, aynı yolla bulaşan HIV infeksiyonunu kazanma riskini taşıdıkları için sifiliz serolojisi pozitif hastalar HIV riski yönünden araştırılmalıdır.
