A weakly reactive VDRL may be due to syphilis or to some other cause. You must have a follow-up treponemal test to confirm the diagnosis of syphilis. If that test is negative, no further followup is needed.
The tube used for the c-reactive protein test is typically a lavender or purple-colored tube.
The C-reactive protein test is used to detect inflammation in the body. It is often ordered to help diagnose infections or inflammatory conditions such as arthritis or autoimmune diseases. Monitoring CRP levels can also be used to track the progression of a disease or the effectiveness of treatment.
The C-Reactive Protein Test, or CRP test measures the amount of C-Reactive protein in your blood. The purpose of this test is to measure if these proteins are present in your bloodstream, which may indicate inflammation in your body. Sometimes it is used as a diagnostic tool to see if you have a bacterial or fungal infection. It is also used to monitor chronic inflammatory conditions, such as arthritis.
Argon is a noble gas and does not produce a flame test color. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, making it chemically inert and not reactive in the presence of a flame.
A reactive HBsAg test result indicates the presence of hepatitis B surface antigen in the blood, suggesting a current hepatitis B infection. Further testing may be needed to determine the stage of infection and whether treatment is necessary. Close monitoring and follow-up with a healthcare provider are recommended for proper management.
No, the VDRL only tells you about syphilis. A test for HIV would need to be done separately.
Non-reactive HIV and VDRL tests indicate that the patient wasn't infected prior to the window periods for those illnesses. If there has been a new exposure during the window period, retesting should be done.
Most probably its VDRL test.
A nonreactive VDRL test is good news. It means that a person is negative for syphilis.I have received employment visa of UAE through Company. During Pre-medical test are test are negative except VDRL is positive. Now I am in problem what I do for VDRL will declare negative.
it is used in the lab for VDRL, Widal test, & such other tests .
It means that the test was positive for HIV.

A non-reactive means that HIV antibodies were not detected. A number below 1.0 is negative and above 1.0 is positive (or reactive). If the number is very close to 1.0 then a confirmatory test may be recommended by your doctor.
A Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) test is primarily performed to screen for syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It detects non-specific antibodies that may be present in the blood in response to the infection. While it is a useful screening tool, positive results often require confirmatory testing with more specific tests, such as the FTA-ABS. The VDRL test is also occasionally used to monitor disease activity and treatment response.
Actually, it is reactive. That means that the patient is preliminarily positive, and a second test should be done for confirmation.
It is a test for inflammation.
A reactive HIV test is one that shows infection with HIV. Follow up with your health care provider for next steps for treatment.
