Interpretive Data
Syphilis IgG Interpretations
RPR Reactive Syphilis IgG Reactive This is presumptive evidence of a current infection.
RPR Non-Reactive Syphilis IgG Reactive Probably past infection or potential cross-reactivity with other spirochetes/related antigens. Cannot exclude false positive reaction.
Syphilis IgG Non-Reactive Current or past infection unlikely: cannot exclude incubating or early syphilis.
RPR Non-Reactive Syphilis IgG Non-Reactive No serological evidence of infection with T. pallidum. Incubating or early syphilis cannot be excluded.
RPR Reactive Syphilis IgG Non-Reactive Current infection unlikely, probability of biological false positive secondary to other medical conditions.
Syphilis IgG Equivocal Repeat testing with an additional sample is recommended.
Syphilis (T. Pallidum) G determined by Trinity Biotech, CAPTIA Syphilis G Enzyme Immunoassay.
