Test Code SYPH TOTAL Syphilis AB, IgG and IgM

Testing Algorithm

If  this test is positive, it will reflex a RPR. The RPR will be titered if it, too, is positive.

Should the RPR test be negative, with a negative titer, patient history is to be investigated. Previous positive RPR results, with subsequent treatment, can yield a positive only Syphilis AB test.
