Canadian Public Health Laboratory Network Laboratory Guidelines for Congenital Syphilis and Syphilis Screening in Pregnant Women in Canada by Ameeta E Singh, Paul N Levett, Kevin Fonseca, Gayatri C Jayaraman, Bonita E Lee

“…All infants born to mothers with reactive syphilis tests should have nontreponemal tests (NTT) and treponemal tests (TT) performed in parallel with the mother’s tests. A fourfold or higher titre in the NTT in the infant at delivery is strongly suggestive of congenital infection but the absence of a fourfold or greater NTT titre does not exclude congenital infection. …”
