About the Test
Treponema Pallidum Antibody detects antibodies produced against the bacterium that causes syphilis, without separating them into IgG and IgM. It is a treponemal screening test used to identify current or past exposure to the infection. A reactive result indicates that the immune system has encountered the bacterium at some point, but because these antibodies can persist for life, it does not on its own confirm an active infection. It is typically combined with non-treponemal testing to determine whether infection is active and how it is responding to treatment.
What is it? Treponema Pallidum Antibody, sometimes reported as TPPA, is a blood test that detects antibodies against the syphilis bacterium as a whole rather than by type.
