About Our Syphilis
Overview
Syphilis is treated with antibiotics in early stages of infection, and newly acquired infections tend to be easily cured. Treatment may take longer in patients who have been infected for more than a year. Following treatment, syphilis antibodies should be lower. The Quantitative Rapid Plasma Reagin Test, also known as an RPR Test, is used to diagnose and monitor syphilis during diagnosis and treatment. The quantitative RPR Test measures the level of antibodies present in the blood. It is typically used for monitoring treatment of syphilis infections and/or determining if treatment was successful.
