Syphilis Screening Blood Test

The Syphilis Screening Test is a comprehensive blood screening designed to detect syphilis infection through a combination of non-specific and specific antibody testing methods. This dual-marker approach provides accurate detection of Treponema pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis, by utilising both non-treponemal tests (VDRL/RPR) and treponemal antibody tests (TPHA/TPPA). Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection that progresses through multiple stages if left untreated and can lead to serious complications affecting the heart, brain, and other organs. Early detection is crucial as syphilis is highly treatable with appropriate antibiotics when identified in its early stages.
