Aiding in the diagnosis of recent or past Treponema pallidum infection
Routine prenatal screening
This test is not offered as a screening or confirmatory test for blood donor specimens.
This test is not useful for diagnosis of congenital syphilis.
This testing should be used to assess for recent or past infection with Treponema pallidum or for routine prenatal screening.
Syphilis screening at Mayo Clinic and Mayo Clinic Laboratories is performed using the reverse screening algorithm.
Test ID | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
---|---|---|---|
RPRS | RPR Screen w/ Reflex, S | No | No |
RTPPA | Syphilis Ab, TP-PA, S | Yes, (Order TPPA) | No |
RRPRQ | RPR Titer, S | No | No |
SYPNB | Syphilis Total Ab Bill Only 1 | No, (Bill Only) | No |
Total syphilis billing will be captured under SYPNB.
If the total syphilis result is reactive or equivocal, then rapid plasma reagin (RPR) will be performed at an additional charge.
If the RPR screen result is reactive, then the RPR titer will be performed at an additional charge.
If the RPR screen result is nonreactive, then syphilis antibody will be performed at an additional charge.
See Syphilis Serology Algorithm in Special Instructions.
