All pregnant women should have blood taken for serologic screening for syphilis at their first prenatal. Nontreponemal antibody tests should be used for screening, either the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) or rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test. Treatment of maternal syphilis is critical to...
Also Known As: Venereal Disease Research Laboratory, VDRL, Rapid Plasma Reagin, RPR Test, RPR Titer, Fluorescent Treponemal Antibody Absorption Test, FTA-ABS, Treponema pallidum Particle Agglutination Assay, TPPA, Microhemagglutination Assay, MHA-TP, Darkfield Microscopy, Automated Immunoassays for ...
The patient had false-positive syphilis test results during 2 pregnancies, 25 and 22 years prior, based on a positive blood rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test result (titer, 1:2 [reference, nonreactive]) and negative fluorescent treponemal antibody (FTA-ABS) test result. On current pres...
Diagnosis is by blood test, either the rapid plasma reagin (RPR) orVenereal DiseaseResearch Laboratory (VDRL) test. Treatment is with antibiotics. Syphilis remains a major health problem. About 12 million new cases of syphilis occur every year. More than 90% of them are in developing nations ...

Diagnose using a nontreponemal (reaginic) test (eg, rapid plasma reagin [RPR] or Venereal Disease Research Laboratory [VDRL]), and confirm positive results using a treponemal antibody test. Treat with benzathine penicillin (Bicillin L-A) whenever possible, except that ocular syphilis, otic syphil...
Lorne Labs supplies Syphilis detection latex kits and reagents including TPHA, VDRL and RPR. These Syphilis test kits identify the antibodies to the bacterium which causes syphilis in blood, fluid or tissue to help facilitate early detection and treatment of the disease....
Like RPR,VDRLdetects antibodies against cardiolipin and is used to screen for syphilis in blood donations. Treponemal Tests These testsare more specific, detecting antibodies directly againstT. pallidum (Syphilis TP).They are used to confirm a positive result from a nontreponemal test. Standard ...
and the serum RPR test did not fall. Therefore, they proceeded to a lumbar puncture, which showed lymphocytes and increased protein in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and CSF-RPR of 1:2, indicating early neurosyphilis, though there were no neurological deficits. The patient was admitted for a ...
