Worldwide, however, syphilis continues...
Here are some examples of common serologic patterns and their interpretation: EIA reactive, RPR reactive, TP-PA reactive This is consistent with syphilis infection. If the patient has previously received treatment and the RPR titre is declining, it may be consistent with treated syphilis. EIA react...
