Overview
When there is a syphilis infection, there are antibodies present in the blood. After infection, the antibodies are generated between 21 days to 6 weeks. The VDRL test is a blood test that checks for these antibodies. The test should ideally be done in the middle stages of the infection though, as it will yield the most accurate results.
While many diagnostic centres offer the VDRL test, it is best to choose PharmEasy Labs, one of India’s most trusted diagnostic service providers. The tests can be booked from any part of the country, as services are offered in more than 2500 pincodes. The labs are fully automated and barcoded, ensuring the accuracy of the test results. Once the machines generate the test results, a pathologist cross-verifies the same.
