Test Description: Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) Titre Test

The Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) Titre test is a blood test used to detect antibodies associated with syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium *Treponema pallidum*. The test measures the level (titer) of antibodies in the blood that the body produces in response to the infection. It is commonly used as a screening test for syphilis, and the titer helps assess the severity or stage of the infection. The RPR test is often followed by a more specific test (like the FTA-ABS) to confirm the diagnosis. The titer value can also help monitor the effectiveness of treatment and detect syphilis relapse.
