71793-4
LaboratoryTreponema pallidum Ab [Titer] in Serum or Plasma by Agglutination
Definition
Identification of Treponema pallidum antibodies by particle agglutination is performed for the diagnosis of syphilis caused by T. pallidum. This code was created for a test that uses the same treponemal antigen as hemagglutination tests (MHA-TP) but with gelatin particles, allowing for testing with serum or plasma samples.
