Description:In the last decade there have been major changes and improvements in STD testing technologies. While these changes have created great opportunities for more rapid and accurate STD diagnosis, they may also create confusion when laboratories attempt to incorporate new technologies into the existing structure of their laboratory. With this in mind, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) convened an expert panel to evaluate available information and produce recommendations for inclusion in the Guidelines for the Laboratory Diagnosis of Treponema pallidum in the United States. An in‐person meeting to formulate these recommendations was held on January 13‐15, 2009 on the CDC Roybal campus. The panel included public health laboratorians, STD researchers, STD clinicians, STD Program Directors and other STD program staff. Representatives from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) were also in attendance. The target audience for these recommendations includes laboratory directors, laboratory staff, microbiologists, clinicians, epidemiologists, and disease control personnel.
This report was produced in cooperation with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
