How can We Diagnose Syphilis?

The following examinations and tests help with the diagnosis of syphilis -

  • Blood Test (VDRL Test) - Shortly after infection, the body produces syphilis antibodies that can be detected by a blood test.
  • Dark Ground Microscopy - Microscopic examination of the fluid collected from the syphilis sores.
