May 7, 2025 · A rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test screens you for syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection (STI). It's a simple blood test that checks for unique syphilis antibodies.

A positive RPR test should be followed by another type of test to diagnose syphilis. If you have been treated for syphilis in the past, an RPR test that shows a titer increase of fourfold means …

The rapid plasma reagin test (RPR test or RPR titer) is a type of rapid diagnostic test that looks for non-specific antibodies in the blood of the patient that may indicate an infection by syphilis or …

Aug 21, 2024 · If possible, titers should be compared using the same test methodology since the rapid plasma reagin (RPR) and the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) may differ …

Our patient’s RPR titer decreased fourfold following initial treatment (from 1:32 to 1:8), consistent with a successful response to treatment. The subsequent increase in titer (from 1:8 to 1:64) …

Aug 2, 2025 · The RPR test, or Rapid Plasma Reagin, primarily screens for syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. It does not directly detect …

Aug 5, 2025 · RPR (rapid plasma reagin) is a screening test for syphilis. It measures substances (proteins) called antibodies that are present in the blood of people who may have the disease.

The traditional syphilis testing algorithm begins with the RPR (nontreponemal) test with positive samples reflexing to RPR titer and treponemal antibody testing. Interpretation of results …

The Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) test is an essential tool for the early detection and management of syphilis. By identifying antibodies, it allows healthcare providers to diagnose and treat …

Because the antibodies detected in treponemal tests usually remain detectable for life, even after successful treatment, the non-treponemal titer (RPR or VDRL) must be used to monitor for a …
