A nonreactive RPR card test with clinical evidence of syphilis can be seen in early primary syphilis; in secondary syphilis, as a result of the prozone reaction; and in some cases of late syphilis. The RPR card test cannot be used to test spinal fluids. The RPR card test may be reactive...
RPR test may be positive in low titre when treatment is started late. In late syphilis (cardiovascular, neurological or gummatous lensions) reagin titres may rise. In some cases of neurosyphilis, reagin test in serum may be non-reactive but positive with CSF. Non-reactive RPR card test with...
An RPR test result can be eitherreactiveornonreactive,depending on if antibodies were detected. AnonreactiveRPR result means there were no antibodies to syphilis found in the blood sample. If you have been confirmed as nonreactive and you or your doctor still believe that you are at high risk...
