A TPHA (Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay) with titer measures the concentration of antibodies against Treponema pallidum, the bacterium that causes syphilis. The test detects and quantifies the presence of these antibodies in the blood, indicating a past or current syphilis infection. The titer represents the dilution at which antibodies are still detectable, helping assess the severity and progression of the infection. High titers can suggest active infection or a recent infection, while declining titers may indicate successful treatment.
The TPHA (Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay) with titer is a blood test used to detect and measure antibodies against Treponema pallidum, the bacterium responsible for syphilis. This assay is highly sensitive and specific for syphilis detection. During the test, red blood cells coated with antigens are mixed with the patient's serum. If antibodies against Treponema pallidum are present, they will cause agglutination (clumping) of the red blood cells.
The titer represents the highest dilution of the patient's serum at which agglutination is still observable. It quantifies the concentration of these antibodies, providing information about the extent of the infection. High titers generally indicate an active or recent syphilis infection, while lower or declining titers may suggest resolution of the infection or a previous, treated infection. This test is often used to confirm syphilis diagnosis and monitor treatment efficacy over time.
