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...

At follow-up testing, his RPR was nonreactive, indicating effective treatment. In general, declining RPR titers are expected after successful treatment; the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends repeating the RPR at6, 12, and 24 months posttreatment for late-latent syphilis. Can...
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 ...

EIA reactive, RPR non-reactive, TP-PA non-reactive The treponemal tests do not agree. This may be due to early infection where TP-PA has not yet developed, prior syphilis (treated or untreated), or potentially a false positive EIA. This patient should be re-tested in 2 weeks. EIA react...
Reagin test usually turn non-reactive 6-18 months after effective therapy of syphilis depending on the stages of disease at which treatment is given. RPR test may be positive in low titre when treatment is started late. In late syphilis (cardiovascular, neurological or gummatous lensions) reagin...
Rapid plasma reagin (RPR): most commonly used test Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test (VDRL): often used in the evaluation of cerebrospinal fluid for neurosyphilis [12] Accuracy: highly sensitive but nonspecific; positive in ∼ 62–78% of patients with primary syphilis [12] False-neg...
reactive by reverse screening, compared to none by traditional testing. However, reverse screening identified 2 patients with possible latent syphilis that were not detected by RPR.[22]The CDC recommends traditional testing, but if reverse screening is used all sera that produce reactive EIA/CIA ...
The diagnostic tests of choice in syphilis are serum and CSF nontreponemal and treponemal tests. Serum VDRL or RPR may be nonreactive in some cases of late neurosyphilis, whereas FTA-ABS and MHA-TP are almost always reactive. Similarly, CSF VDRL may be nonreactive in 30% to 70% of cases...
