What is a TPHA Test ?
Know More About This Test
TPHA is a confirmatory blood test for syphilis, detecting antibodies against Treponema pallidum. It remains positive for life once infected, even after treatment.
Why Is This Test Recommended?
- Confirm syphilis infection
- Antenatal screening
- Blood donor screening
- Neurological symptoms of unknown cause
Understanding TPHA
It is used after a screening test like VDRL. A positive TPHA confirms exposure.
FAQs
- Does TPHA indicate active infection? Not always, as TPHA detects lifelong antibodies from past exposure rather than current bacterial activity, so additional tests like VDRL titers or dark-field microscopy are needed to distinguish active from resolved syphilis.
- Can it become negative after treatment? No, TPHA typically remains positive for life after infection, even with successful antibiotic treatment, making it a reliable marker of lifetime exposure but not a gauge of cure.
- Is fasting required? No, fasting is not required for the TPHA test, as it measures specific antibodies unaffected by recent food intake, allowing for convenient scheduling anytime.
- Is it used alone? No, TPHA is not used alone but as a confirmatory test following initial screening like VDRL or RPR to verify true positives and avoid false alarms from non-specific reactions.
- Is it reliable? Yes, TPHA is highly reliable with excellent specificity for detecting Treponema pallidum antibodies, making it a gold standard confirmatory test in syphilis diagnosis worldwide.
Who should take this test
The TPHA test confirms syphilis after a screening test such as RPR. It is advised if:
- Your RPR screening test was positive
- You have painless sores, rash or swollen glands
- Your doctor is confirming a diagnosis
- You are being screened in pregnancy or before a procedure
