SYPHILIS TESTINGRPR AND CONFIRMATORYSyphilisn What is syphilis and why is it important inthis protocol?Syphilisn Syphilis is a contagious venereal diseasecaused by the spirochete Treponemapallidum. The organism enters the bodythrough a break in mucosa or epitheliallayer. After a 10-60 day incubation...
treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-ABS) may be performed, depending on which lab you visit. This additional step to confirm a reactive RPR diagnosis helps to eliminate the chances of a false-positive result. OurT. Pallidum testcan also confirm a positive syphilis diagnosis like the FTA-ABS ...

Dark-field microscopy is a direct method of testing less commonly used as it requires highly skilled lab technicians. It is performed by taking a sample of body fluid—either from a chancre orspinal tap—and looking at the fluids under a microscope. The test can also be performed on tissue...
Of 112 BFP reactors, 35 (31%) had at least one RPR test reactive at a dilution >1:8 while the FTAABS test remained nonreactive. Five reactors (4.5%) converted from nonreactive to reactive by FTA-ABS test; 4 (3.6%) were reactive by FTA-ABS tests but later became nonreactive. ...
For neurosyphilis, CSF testing every 6 months until CSF cell count is normal The importance of repeated tests to confirm cure should be explained to patients before treatment. Examinations and reaginic tests should be done at 3, 6, and 12 months after treatment and annually thereafter until the...
3) Molecular testing (polymerase chain reaction [PCR]) is not routinely performed due to suboptimal standardization; it may be of use if there is a suspicion that a primary chancre is localized in the mouth or sites often cohabited by saprophytic treponemes....

[RPR]) and (2) treponemal tests (e.g.,fluorescent treponemal antibodyabsorbed [FTA-ABS] andT. pallidumparticleagglutination[TP-PA]). The use of only one type of serologic test is insufficient for diagnosis, because false-positive nontreponemal test results may occur secondary to various medical...
