A reactive syphilis test result is an indication that syphilis may be present. If the test result is an RPR, it should be followed with more specific testing to confirm that diagnosis. A number of other conditions can cause a positive RPR.
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.
A red top tube is typically used for a rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test, which is a screening test for syphilis. The red top tube contains no anticoagulant and allows for blood to clot before the serum is separated for testing.
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.
No, the VDRL only tells you about syphilis. A test for HIV would need to be done separately.
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.
It is a diagnostic test for syphilis that checks the blood serum reaction to an antibody.
It is a test for inflammation.
It is a test for inflammation.
A doctor may order a Treponema pallidum test, such as a syphilis test, when a patient shows signs or symptoms of syphilis, has a high-risk sexual behavior, is pregnant, or is being screened for sexually transmitted infections. It may also be done as part of routine screening in some settings.
It test for the antibodies for the causative agent of syphilis, Treponema pallidum
The first test performed is ELISA (or EIA) is a test that screens for the presence of HIV antibodies in the blood. This test is not a test for HIV/AIDS its a very sensitive and will be reactive even if there are only 1 or 2 antibodies in that person blood sample. If the results are reactive that test will be followed by a second test called confirmatory test which is highly accurate test in which it's is used to confirm the results of the ELISA.
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.
Syphilis is diagnosed with a blood test, which is determined positive if the antibodies to the infection are found in the blood.
Yes....ask your veterinarian about the blood test.
