Shop - Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR)

Description

Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) is a blood test used primarily for the screening and diagnosis of syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. The test detects non-specific antibodies that may be present in the bloodstream due to an infection or other conditions. The RPR test is known for its speed and simplicity, providing results within hours. If the RPR test is reactive, further confirmatory testing is usually required to establish a definitive diagnosis. It’s also used in monitoring the effectiveness of treatment in patients diagnosed with syphilis.
