Symptoms such as painless sores (chancre),
rashes, fever, sore throat, and swollen lymph nodes often prompt the use of a
Syphilis Panel, a crucial medical test for diagnosing and monitoring syphilis,
a sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum. If left
untreated, syphilis can progress to tertiary syphilis, causing organ damage.
The panel includes blood tests to detect specific antibodies, enabling early
treatment with antibiotics like penicillin to prevent complications and
transmission. Regular testing and safe sexual practices are essential for
individuals at risk. Any positive test should be followed up with a confirmatory test.
