Overview
PharmEasy Labs will do the VDRL test to measure the antibodies produced in response to the bacteria causing syphilis infection. It's the Treponema pallidum (T. pallidum) bacterium that's the root cause of this problem. It's this bacteria that will enter your body, and the immune system will produce antibodies. These antibodies are proteins that destroy the invading bacteria. In case the test gives negative results, it would mean that the blood does not contain any antibodies to syphilis.
Apart from syphilis, the risk assessment will be done for gonorrhoea and neurosyphilis under this test. There are also times when VDRL tests in Pune yield false positive results. If you engage in unusual sexual activities, it will become necessary to take this test. This infection can also be transmitted from mother to baby during pregnancy. Once syphilis enters your bloodstream, it may spread all across your body. In case you don't treat it, syphilis can affect vital organs like the heart, brain, nervous system and eyes.
