Overview
Once the test is done, the PharmEasy Labs will detect the presence of antibodies or proteins that the body produces in the presence of Syphilis-causing bacteria. The test results may be positive or negative. If you're VDRL positive, it means that there's the presence of antibodies in blood serum/CSF. In case you test VDRL negative, it suggests the absence of antibodies in the blood serum/CSF. The stage of the syphilis infection will be key in determining the ability of this test to detect antibodies in your body. It would generally be quick and easy to perform. However, its results might not be 100% accurate.
Sexually active people routinely go for the Venereal Disease Research Laboratory Test. Apart from that, the doctors recommend this test for pregnant women as well. When we talk about syphilis specifically, it is a gonorrheal disease. There are four stages of this infection:
- Primary: Three weeks to three months of contamination. The VDRL test will be false negative in this case.
- Secondary: Symptoms of fever, headache and joint pain have taken over your body. The VDRL test will be reactive here.
- Latent: You won't see any perceptible signs and symptoms in this phase. The bacterial infection will progress to the tertiary phase here.
- Tertiary: The last stage of infection, can be life-threatening. The symptoms are blindness, deafness and neurological symptoms.
Test Necessity
If you're seeing early symptoms of Syphilis infection in your body, you should go for the VDRL test. The symptoms are as below:
- A small, painless sore, swelling in the lymph node near the sore
- A skin rash that does not itch
- Headaches
- Muscle Ache
- Fatigue
- Sore throat
- Swollen glands
- Genital warts
- Patchy hair loss
You have to treat Syphilis on time before it gets too late. If it's not treated on time, it can result in disabilities, neurological problems, and even death.
Test Preparation
No fasting is required for the VDRL test. However, if you are opting for any other tests along with the VDRL test, you may have to fast for a period of 6-8 hours. Consult your doctor for further instructions.
During the VDRL Test
You have to book the test and once the slot is available, a phlebotomist will walk in to do the test hygienically. He will use a syringe needle to collect your blood and put it into a collection tube. The phlebotomist will also use a vein finder to locate your vein on your arm. The whole procedure should not take more than 10 minutes.
