Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema Pallidum. Syphilis develops in stages that can last for a few weeks, months, or even years. The clinical stages of Syphilis are classified as primary, secondary, latent (hidden), and tertiary (late) . Diagnosing syphilis merely by analyzing its symptoms is not the definitive way to screen the same. The Treponema Pallidum (Syphilis) Screening Cascade test is used to screen for and diagnose Syphilis. First of all, an initial testing is done to screen for treponemal antibodies that cause a Syphilis infection. The RPR (rapid plasma reagin) test will be performed if these antibodies are discovered to confirm the patient's diagnosis. If the RPR Screen is reactive, then the RPR Titer will be performed. However, if the RPR Screen is non-reactive, then Treponema Pallidum Antibody, Particle Agglutination will be performed.
Please do not exercise prior to testing. It is best that your blood is taken in a rested state.
Note: Turn around times on results are an estimate and are not guaranteed. The lab may need additional time due to holidays, confirmation/repeat testing, etc. You can contact us to discuss when your results should be ready and we will contact the lab on your behalf immediately.
