Comparative analysis of VDRL test and point-of-care test identifies syphilis in pregnant women, suggesting effective screening methods.

Syphilis screening using VDRL test and POCT identified 3% positivity among pregnant women.
Three samples tested positive by both VDRL and POCT were confirmed by TPHA test.
A total of 100 serum samples were evaluated through VDRL, POCT, and TPHA for accurate results.
The findings emphasize cost-effective antenatal screening methods, indicating the need for further research.

Nirmal et al. (2025) studied this question.
