Syphilis ELISA (RW)
Test for detecting antibodies to Treponema pallidum — the causative agent of syphilis. Used for screening, early diagnosis, and confirmation of syphilis at various stages, including hidden and asymptomatic forms. Allows determination of specific IgG and IgM antibody presence, assessment of infection activity, and monitoring of treatment efficacy.
Biomaterial: Venous blood
Fasting for 8-12 hours; avoid alcohol and potent medications for 24 hours; avoid physical exertion and stress 30 minutes before. Inform the doctor about antibiotic, immunomodulator, or hormonal medication use.
Ulcers or rashes on skin and mucous membranes; pain in the genital area; enlarged lymph nodes; elevated temperature and malaise of unclear origin; suspected venereal diseases; contact with syphilis patients; pregnancy planning or preparation for surgical procedures.
Negative — antibodies to Treponema pallidum not detected.
Positive — antibodies detected, consultation with a venereologist or infectious disease specialist required.
Important: presence of antibodies does not always mean active disease; interpretation by a physician only.
