TPHA (Treponema Pallidum Hemagglutination)
The Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay (TPHA) is a serological test used to detect antibodies against the Treponema pallidum bacteria, which causes syphilis, through a hemagglutination method involving red blood cells coated with T. pallidum antigens.
TPHA is an indirect hemagglutination assay used for the detection and titration of antibodies against the causative agent of syphilis, Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum. In the test, red blood cells (erythrocytes) are sensitized with antigens from T. pallidum pallidum.
A positive TPHA (Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay) test result indicates that the individual has been exposed to the bacteria Treponema pallidum, the cause of syphilis, either currently or in the past.
