SYPHILIS
DESCRIPTION |
|
|
|
The proper diagnostic tests for syphilis
depend on the stage of the disease and may include: dark field
examination of primary lesion (in primary syphilis), and blood tests
such as VDRL or RPR and FTA-ABS. In the case of neurosyphilis, a
spinal tap is required to make the diagnosis and may be sent for
VDRL and/or FTA-ABS. |
