An iron friend of mine is in a bad mood recently. He always hesitates and does not tell me when he asks him. Under my repeated questioning, he tells me that he may have syphilis. Now let's talk about what to check when syphilis is reexamined.

What does syphilis check when reexamining

The first step: patients can carry out serum examination, mainly to see if there is Treponema pallidum antibody in their body, if there is, it means that their body has been invaded by Treponema pallidum. Patients can also use syphilis test paper for examination.

The second step: syphilis titer is syphilis, serological examination is the idea to check the antibody in the serum, the titer is the number of antibody in the serum of patients, syphilis titer determination 1:2 is still in the normal range, but we should pay attention to tracking and monitoring, generally one month later, three months later, six months later, three consecutive reviews are normal, even if it is recovered.

The third step: syphilis generally needs to take blood for examination before it can be diagnosed. It can't be diagnosed casually only by clinical symptoms and signs, so it's groundless and unnecessary for you to define yourself as syphilis before consulting a specialist. It will only increase your panic.
