A TPHA reactive result indicates the presence of antibodies to Treponema pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis. This suggests a current or past infection with syphilis and further testing is usually needed for confirmation and clinical evaluation.
Serology (ser -> serum; ology -> study of) is the set of experiments and tests that can be done using serum. Serum is the non-cellular component of blood. That is, it's the liquid (with all its lipids and proteins) that is left over after all the red and white blood cells have been removed. Serology could involve the measurement of antibody titers (amounts) or cytokine concentrations.
