What is tpha?
TPHA and VDRL are tests for syphilis. They are typically used in combination for a more specific diagonsis.
May i know the reason for TPHA apart form sexual contact whether any reason behind the Tpha?
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.
What is the normal range of tpha?
0.9
What does TPHA reactive means?
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.
What is serology in immunology?
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.
