What is Treponema pallidum PCR?

The Treponema pallidum PCR test directly detects the genetic material (DNA) of the bacterium that causes syphilis. This highly sensitive test can identify the infection even in its very early stages or when antibody tests might be inconclusive.

Why is this test important?

PCR testing is valuable for diagnosing syphilis, especially in cases of suspected neurosyphilis, congenital syphilis, or when lesions are present. It provides direct evidence of the pathogen, aiding in rapid and accurate diagnosis and treatment.

How to Prepare

Provide a clean-catch urine sample. Follow instructions carefully to avoid contamination.
