(F T A -A B S) Antibody Absorption (IgM, IgG)

The fluorescence treponemal antibody test absorption test (FTA-ABS) looks for antibodies to Treponema pallidum, the organism that causes syphilis. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) carried by coming into touch with an infected person's sores on the skin or mucous membrane. This test is generally performed after other syphilis screening tests have been completed.

Early-stage syphilis can be easily treated with antibiotics from your doctor. If you're pregnant, though, it might create significant or life-threatening health concerns for you and your kid. ‌

Treatment for syphilis in its later stages may not reverse any damage that has already been done.

Why done? 

• The FTA-ABS (fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption test) is used to confirm whether a positive syphilis screening test (VDRL or RPR) indicates that you have a current infection.
• It can also be used to rule out a false-negative result when other syphilis tests are negative.

Procedure

>>You'll have blood extracted from an arm vein. 

How does one prepare for the test? 

>>No preparation is needed.
