General Reference Range : non-reactive
When the TREPONEMAL AB TOT test is reactive, it will reflex to RPR. If the RPR is non-reactive, it will then reflex to the TREPONEMAL AB IgG test for confirmation. When interpreting these results, consider the patient's history of prior infections and treatment and the patient's risk of re-infection. If diagnosis is still unclear, recommend re-testing in 2-4 weeks.
