What to know about TPHA testing for syphilis

Syphilis is one of the most common sexually transmitted diseases. TPHA testing is a specialized sub-clinical method for identifying the disease.

Syphilis is a classic infection transmitted mainly through unsafe sex. The pathogen is treponema pallidum. The clinical picture of syphilis is varied, abundant depending on each stage of the disease, highlighting the lymph nodes and injuries on the external genitals.

For the diagnosis of syphilis, in addition to the direct search for spirulina in the product is the secretions from the antennae, mucous membrane plaques,ẩns, endoscopic lymph nodes under a microscope, which can be found indirectly through blood tests. The TPHA (Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination Assay) test is a technique commonly used to find specific reactions that identify the presence of syphilis spirals in patients through blood tests.

The purpose of the TPHA test is to detect the presence of syphilis antibacterial antibodies in the plasma of patients with syphilis. Along with clinical manifestations, test results contribute to the diagnosis of the disease.

In the presence of bacteria entering the body, the immune barrier in the blood activates the siege, destroying the agent; at the same time create antibody-generated reactions. The antibody produced accordingly will a condate, neutralate the antigen, limit the spread. Based on this principle, the TPHA test set is designed to have already available cells (red blood cells) that have been attached syphilis spiral antigen, when serum (plasma) contact of syphilis patients will occur a condensation reaction.

This test should be conducted in a micro-laboratory and performed by a trained and certified laboratory officer specializing in Micro-ermation. The person who determines and approves the results must be the dean or deputy dean of the laboratory department and require a university degree or higher.

Vehicles and chemicals required are the manufacturer's TPHA specialized test kit (Atlas TPHA test kit) and commonly used laboratory equipment such as shakers, centrifugal machines, micropipette straws,…, blood collection tools such as cotton wool, alcohol, needle pumps , garage cords as well as necessary protective equipment are gloves, masks, disinfectant solution.

TPHA reaction tests include dosing and dosing tests. TPHA comprosy tests are performed quickly, helping to identify whether an infection (positive) or not infected (negative), while a dosing test needs to be done in more stages to see if the reaction is positive for high or low concentrations.

Currently, Share99 Health System is implementing a screening package for social diseases to help customers detect syphilis in particular, social diseases in general.
