What is Treponema pallidum haemagglutination (TPHA)?

Why is this test important?
This test is crucial for confirming a syphilis diagnosis, particularly in later stages of the infection. A positive result indicates current or past exposure to syphilis, guiding healthcare providers in treatment decisions and preventing further transmission.
