The syphilis screening test is used to screen the syphilis infection caused by Treponema pallidum. Healthcare professionals utilize this test when there is a suspicion of infection to diagnose the disease promptly and initiate appropriate treatment. A positive result may then be followed up with more specific tests to confirm the diagnosis.
If Syphilis TP screen is positive, Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination (TPHA) and Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) will be performed at additional cost. And Syphilis TP IgM will be performed for patients 1 year old or younger.
