LOINC description : This test is intended to be used as a primary screening test for the diagnosis of
infection with Treponema pallidum, the causative agent for Syphilis. This test has
been approved by the FDA for the screening of donors of human cells, tissues, and
tissue-based products. A Positive Syphilis antibody test result is indicative of an
acute or chronic infection with T. pallidum, and may be used to disqualify a potential
cell or tissue donor. This test is not intended to be used for routine clinical diagnostic
testing. False Positive results are known to occur, especially for patients with Lyme
disease.;
