II. Indication
- Syphilis Detection
III. Background
IV. Efficacy: Test Sensitivity to untreated Syphilis
- Primary Stage (Chancre stage)
- After one week: 30%
- After three weeks: 90%
- Secondary Stage: 100%
- Tertiary Stage: 90%
- Latent Stage: may be unreactive
V. Interpretation: Negative
- Normal
VI. Interpretation: Positive
- See Syphilis False Positive Test
-
Syphilis RPR positive test will be returned with titer (e.g. 1:16)
- After treatment, by 6 months, RPR should fall by a factor of 4 (e.g. 1:4)
- On subsequent infection, expect the RPR titer to once again rise
