USE OF TEST: The Syphilis Total IgG/IgM Multiplex Immunoassay (MIA) is a qualitative Immunoassay used for the detection of Treponema pallidum IgG and IgM antibodies in human sera. This assay is routinely performed as a screening test for all specimens ordered on the syphilis panel.

pallidum Antibody, Particle Agglutination will be performed at an additional charge (CPT code(s): 86780).
pallidum IgG Test System is an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay intended for the qualitative detection of IgG class antibodies to 17 kDa antigen from T. pallidum in human serum. This test system is intended to be used as an aid in the laboratory diagnosis of syphilis caused by the T.
Screening tests for syphilis usually include: Rapid plasma reagin (RPR), which is a blood test. Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) test, which can be done on blood or spinal fluid.
A rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test is a blood test used to screen you for syphilis. It works by detecting the nonspecific antibodies that your body produces while fighting the infection. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum.
ICD-10 code A53. 9 for Syphilis, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Certain infectious and parasitic diseases .
The rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test is a blood test that looks for antibodies to syphilis. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that first causes symptoms seen with many other illnesses.
Test Details If RPR Screen is reactive, then RPR titer will be performed at an additional charge (CPT code(s): 86593).
The Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum is the etiologic agent of syphilis. Syphilis is usually transmitted sexually, but can also be passed vertically from mother to child either in utero (congenital syphilis) or perinatally during birth.
Most forms of syphilis testing look for syphilis antibodies. Syphilis antibodies are substances in the blood that are made by the body's immune system in people who come into contact with the bacteria that causes syphilis. Several types of antibody blood tests may be used to detect a syphilis infection.
Syphilis Serology. Serologic tests for syphilis require the use of two tests: nontreponemal tests that use a nonspecific cardiolipin antigen and confirmatory tests that use specific T. pallidum antigens (Table 1). A nontreponemal test, such as VDRL or RPR, may be used for screening.
Serological test for screening for syphilis infection. This panel includes a Treponema -specific test which may be positive in all stages of syphilis. It may be positive with treponemal infections other than syphilis (bejel, pinta, yaws). Like FTA-ABS and TP-PA, once positive, it remains so; it cannot be used to judge the effectiveness of treatment.
The test is not applicable to CSF.

Subacute to chronic infectious venereal disease caused by the spirochete treponema pallidum. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by bacteria . It infects the genital area, lips, mouth, or anus of both men and women.
When you have symptoms of a syphilis infection; when you are at risk of being exposed to syphilis, such as when you have another STD or HIV infection, are a man who has sex with men, have a sexual partner diagnosed with syphilis, or have engaged in high-risk sexual activity; when you are pregnant.
By comparison, nontreponemal antibodies typically disappear in an adequately treated person after about 3 years.
The most common syphilis tests detect antibodies in the blood that are produced in response to a T. pallidum infection.
(See Common Questions below) There are several possible stages with syphilis: Primary syphilis —the primary stage begins about 2-3 weeks after being infected.
Syphilis is most infectious during the primary and secondary stages. In 2014, about one-third of over 63,000 new cases of syphilis reported to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) were primary or secondary stage syphilis. Eighty-three percent of these cases were among men who have sex with men.
Syphilis can be treated with antibiotics, preferably penicillin. Newly acquired infections can be cured easily; however, longer treatment may be needed for someone who has been infected for more than a year.
