Learn all about the diagnosis of syphilis. We'll cover non-treponemal (RPR and VDRL) and treponemal tests (FTA-ABS and TP-PA) and how to interpret these results depending on the order in which you do them.

We'll also walk through a practice question at the end so that you can answer those pesky test questions easily.

Thank you so much for this video. I tested positive for RPR but Non reactive for FTA but the doctor just went with the positive RPR and gave me antibiotics didn’t explain the FTA part at all.

@gracetogonon6693 Год назад

Hi doc. What does RPR reactive mean? Is it consider it is syphilis?

@quickmed Год назад

Hello! A reactive test means a positive result. The test result is just one data point. You have to always consider the patient’s history and physical exam findings as well when considering a diagnosis of syphilis. Hope this helps!

@sudarshanthapa7597 Год назад

Hlo madam which test is best and more accurate for late latent stages after the infection of 8to 9 years syphilis plz reply

@quickmed Год назад

There are two types of diagnostic studies for syphilis: your treponemal and non-treponemal. The use of each one, as well as their results, depends on the clinical situation. For that reason, we recommend that you reach out to your physician for management that is catered to your specific situation. Hope this helps!

@jgr0797 8 месяцев назад

So if I tested negative for my RPR test, should I take a treponemal test? Thank you!

@quickmed 8 месяцев назад

Hello! It really depends on your overall risk. I recommend reaching out to your physician for further guidance.

@Jdoe560 11 месяцев назад

I tested + for non-T then + for the Treponemal. But a week later I tested - for the non T right after getting the injection the same day

@Jdoe560 10 месяцев назад

Is that normal?

@ashantisanderson887 Год назад

Hi, what does non reactive vdrl mean?

@quickmed Год назад

Hello! A non-reactive VDRL means that the result was negative.

@backslash75 2 года назад

What about an equivocal result? I just had one.

@quickmed 2 года назад

An equivocal result can be one of two things. It could indicate an early primary syphilis infection or a false positive result. A repeat test would need to be done in that case if there is a strong suspicion for infection.

@backslash75 2 года назад

@@quickmed the lab told my doctor they couldnt tell anything from my blood test & couldnt even tell her if there was any kind of positive or antibodies. Would a lab mess up cause that?

@quickmed 2 года назад

@@backslash75 It is definitely possible. I would check with your doctor to consider repeating the test.

I already finished my 4 shots of benzathine penicillin. Do you think it's cured ?

If it remains positive for life dose that mean I can still spread it ?

@quickmed Год назад

This depends on what is remaining positive. For any personal health questions, we recommend that you contact your physician.

@caioduarte8299 Год назад

Why the treponemal are positive for life?

@quickmed Год назад

The treponemal tests detect antibodies specific to syphilis. They usually appear earlier than the non-treponemal antibodies with acute infection and they usually will remain in the body for life, even after successful treatment.

@caioduarte8299 Год назад

@@quickmed I know that, I was wondering if you knew why they don't decay since they're not protective against the bacteria. I didn't find anything in my search. :(

@quickmed Год назад

@@caioduarte8299 I believe you're asking how a person can get re-infected by syphilis even with treponemal antibodies present? Look like the exact mechanism of immune evasion is unclear...but a current hypothesis is that it is due to antigenic diversity of Treponema pallidum repeat protein K (TprK). This protein is found on the surface of the bacterium. Hope this helps!

@caioduarte8299 Год назад

@@quickmed No, I was asking why the antibodies don't decay. Why they are on the individual for life. Never found anything. Thanks anyway!
