Pathology
Also Known As:
The TPHA test is a serological test used to detect antibodies against Treponema pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis. This test is highly specific but false positive results have been known to occur in patients suffering from leprosy, infectious mononucleosis and connective tissue disorders.TPHA test remains positive for life time even after successful treatment. It cannot distinguish present or past infection . For confirmation the FTA-ABS test should be used, since it allows a differentiation between IgG and the early IgM antibodies. The FTA-ABS test is also very useful in very early syphilis where the haem agglutination test may be negative. For therapeutical control quantitative VDRL or RPR should be used . Clinical evidence should always be considered.

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) for a test depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
Please note that in uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to the complexity of the test or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed about the estimated TAT at the time of registration or after completion of the test.
