Syphilis antibody testing (such as EIA or TPPA) is used to detect treponemal antibodies that may indicate current or past infection with Treponema pallidum. A positive result requires further confirmatory and staging investigations to determine the stage of infection and appropriate clinical management.

The findings related to these particular clinical tests are a general guide and do not cover every possible scenario, this is because every patient is unique and these results only have true clinical significance when combined with the patient’s full medical history, a physical exam, and other diagnostic findings.
