The Syphilis Testing Center — the Correct the Diagnosis and the Staging
Syphilis, caused by Treponema pallidum, is staged, treatable, and increasingly-resurgent bacterial STI. The correct testing uses algorithmic approach — treponemal test (the TPPA or the EIA) for specific detection, and non-treponemal RPR for activity, titer, and monitoring — correct diagnosis and correct staging.
The syphilis is staged — primary ( chancre), secondary ( rash/ systemic), latent ( asymptomatic), and tertiary ( late cardiovascular/ neurological). The correct staging determines treatment ( single-dose benzathine penicillin for early; three-dose for late-latent) and follow-up.
This page covers syphilis testing center — correct algorithm, staging, treatment, and confidential care.
The Testing the Algorithm
The treponemal test
The TPPA or the EIA — specific antibody to the Treponema; confirmatory, stays positive for life ( treponemal marker).
The RPR/ non-treponemal
The RPR — activity, titer, and treatment monitoring; declines with treatment, activity marker.
The correct staging
The primary/ secondary/ latent/ tertiary — staged by history/ examination/ testing; correct duration determines treatment.
The congenital screening
The pregnancy syphilis screening — detects and treats to prevent congenital syphilis/ neonatal morbidity.
The Treatment and the Management
The penicillin
The benzathine penicillin G — correct, curative; single-dose for early ( primary/ secondary/ early-latent), three-dose for late-latent.
The Jarisch-Herxheimer
The Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction ( transient febrile response to treatment) is expected, managed, and not allergy.
The follow-up
The RPR titer follow-up at the 6/the 12/the 24 months — expected decline confirms cure.
The partner
The partner notification/ testing/ treatment — reinfection and transmission prevented.
The Complete the Care
The syphilis testing is complete — treponemal plus the RPR algorithm, correct staging, penicillin treatment, titer follow-up, partner management, and the HIV testing ( syphilis associated with increased the HIV risk).
The confidential, non-judgmental, and correct care — staged, treated, and followed-up correctly.
