RPR (DX) REFL FTA, SYPHILIS TEST WITH REFLEX TO TITER AND CONFIRMATORY
A rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test is a blood test used to screen you for syphilis. It works by detecting the nonspecific antibodies that your body produces while fighting the infection. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum. It can be fatal if left untreated.
Combined with specific antibody testing, the RPR test allows your doctor to confirm the diagnosis of active infection and start your treatment.
This reduces the chances of complications and the spread of the disease by an infected but unaware person.
The RPR test searches for antibodies to the substances given off by cells when a syphilis infection damages them.
The presence of these antibodies indicates if you have a syphilis infection or not. We not only look for the presence of these antibodies, but we provide you with the concentrated amount of antibodies found.
