TDRL is a venereal disease research laboratory test. TPHA, Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assays is another type of test to confirm a syphilis infection.
i have vdrl and tpha both are positve at same time wht i do now
TPHA and VDRL are tests for syphilis. They are typically used in combination for a more specific diagonsis.
What is a tpha test
0.9
Syphillis
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.

The Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay (TPHA) is primarily used to detect syphilis, typically transmitted through sexual contact. However, it can also yield positive results in cases of non-sexual transmission, such as from mother to child during pregnancy (congenital syphilis) or through blood transfusions, although the latter is rare due to strict screening processes. Additionally, certain autoimmune diseases and infections can cause cross-reactivity, leading to false positives in the test.
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.
