Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease. It is the third most common disease on the CDC’s reportable disease list. Syphilis is endemic worldwide and fatal if left untreated. Treponema pallidum, the etiological agent of syphilis, induces the production of at least two types of antibody in human infection; anti-treponemal antibody that can be detected by the TPHA test, and anti-nontreponemal antibody (reagin) that is detected using the Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) test.
