Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination near me in Mysore
The Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination Assay (TPHA) is used to detect the amount of antibodies against Treponema pallidum responsible for causing Syphilis, a type of sexually transmitted disease (STD). This test helps confirm a syphilis infection, screen blood donors, and also helps monitor response to ongoing treatment in already diagnosed cases of syphilis.
Understanding Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination
Syphilis is caused by the bacteria called Treponema pallidum. It is highly contagious and spreads through contact with a syphilis sore, also called a chancre, usually during sexual activities. Syphilis can also be transmitted by transfusion of infected blood, or from the mother to the baby during pregnancy or childbirth.
Syphilis is characterized by four stages namely Primary, Secondary, latent, and Tertiary. The infection causes different symptoms in each stage. It is always challenging to diagnose Syphilis because the initial presentation is with a painless sore called chancre. After the infection, syphilis bacteria may remain inactive for years and become active again. If not treated timely, syphilis can stay in the body for prolonged periods and cause significant harm to the internal organs. Getting a Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination test aids in early diagnosis which helps prevent damage to major organs of the body.
Doctors may advise a Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination or TPHA test when you have symptoms suggestive of syphilis. These symptoms may include small and painless sores near the site of infection, skin rash, fever, swollen lymph glands, hair loss, headaches, muscle ache, tiredness, etc. Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination test is a more sensitive test that can detect syphilis even in the early stages of the infection.
A positive Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination test means that antibodies to the bacterium that causes syphilis are present in your blood. However, it doesn't differentiate between a current or past infection. A negative test result suggests that you do not have syphilis unless you have been recently infected and your body has not produced antibodies yet.
No special preparation is needed for a Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination test. Talk to your doctor about your specific test results. Narrate your complete medical history to help the doctor correlate your clinical and laboratory findings. The results will help them evaluate your medical condition and formulate an individualized treatment plan because the treatment may vary depending on the stage of syphilis infection.
What does Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination measure?
A Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination test analyzes the presence of antibodies in the blood that are specifically directed against Treponema pallidum, the bacteria that causes syphilis, a sexually transmitted disease (STD). The presence of Treponema pallidum antibodies indicates that the individual has been exposed to the bacterium, either recently or in the past. Detecting these antibodies can help your doctors know if you have syphilis. Untreated syphilis can spread to your eyes, blood vessels, heart, and brain. A Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination test can help in early diagnosis and ensure prompt treatment to prevent complications from syphilis.
