Syphilis Antibodies (Treponema) near me in Noida

The Syphilis Antibodies (Treponema) test is used to detect the presence of antibodies that are produced in response to infection with Treponema pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection that may usualy start as a painless sore. Other tests like Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) or VDRL are non-treponemal test used for rapid screening of Syphilis, but they may be false positive. The Syphilis Antibodies (Treponema) will help in confirmation of infection as it detects total antibodies against Treponema pallidum.

The test is recommended when you have symptoms suggestive of syphilis such as small and painless sores near the site of infection, skin rash, fever, swollen lymph glands, hair loss, headaches, muscle ache, etc., or when a sexual partner has been recently diagnosed with syphilis. It can also be used for routine screening in high-risk populations such as individuals with multiple sexual partners, those with HIV infection, or for pregnant women.

Getting tested with Syphilis Antibodies (Treponema) test provides valuable insights into whether an individual has an active or past infection with syphilis. Early detection of syphilis allows for effective antibiotic treatment, preventing disease transmission and complications like organ damage, nerve issues, etc.
