What this test is

The Treponemal Syphilis Test is a blood test that specifically detects antibodies produced by the body when infected with *Treponema pallidum*, the bacterium that causes syphilis. It is used to help diagnose this sexually transmitted infection.

What it measures

  • Antibodies to Treponema pallidum — indicates exposure to the syphilis-causing bacterium

What the test involves

This test requires a blood sample, which is typically collected from a vein in your arm during a standard blood draw. The collected blood is then sent to a laboratory for analysis.

Why it is often ordered

A clinician may order this test if you have symptoms suggestive of syphilis or if you have been exposed to someone with the infection. It is also often included in routine screening panels.

Preparation

You will need to follow any specific preparation instructions provided by the laboratory where your sample will be collected. These instructions will be communicated to you before your appointment.

How results are reported
