Treponema pallidum Ab, Particle Agglutination (TP-PA) -
(QUEST DIAGNOSTICS)Description: The TP-PA test is designed to be used as an aid in the confirmation of antibodies to the treponemal organisms that cause syphilis. The Treponema pallidum Antibodies (TP-PA) test is a confirmatory serology test for syphilis. This is a Treponema-specific test and should not be used for general screening. This is a Treponema-specific test and may be positive in all stages of syphilis. It may be positive with treponemal infections other than syphilis (bejel, pinta, yaws). Like FTA-ABS, TP-PA once positive, it remains so; it cannot be used to judge the effectiveness of treatment. The test is not applicable to CSF.
Abnormal results may require further evaluation by your physician.
