Syphilis Blood Test
Syphilis RPR Test (Rapid Plasma Reagin):
Who should get this test: Patients with symptoms of syphilis such as painless sores or ulcers on the genitals, mouth, or anus, rash on the body, swollen lymph nodes, or flu-like symptoms, individuals with risk factors for syphilis such as unprotected sex, multiple sexual partners, or history of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), or those undergoing routine STI screening without specific symptoms.
What's included in the test: The RPR test detects antibodies produced by the immune system in response to the syphilis bacteria (Treponema pallidum). It involves mixing a blood sample with a substance containing cardiolipin antigen to see if it forms clumps (agglutination), indicating the presence of antibodies.
Why someone would check this test: To screen for syphilis infection, particularly in individuals with symptoms suggestive of syphilis or risk factors for syphilis exposure, to prevent transmission to sexual partners or unborn babies, to initiate early treatment and care for syphilis-infected individuals, or to confirm a suspected diagnosis of syphilis in conjunction with other laboratory tests.
