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

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!

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

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!

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

What about an equivocal result? I just had one.

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.

Why the treponemal are positive for life?

@quickmed

Жыл бұрын

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 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!
