Note
1. Equivocal results do not rule out the possibility of Chlamydial infection. Retesting is
recommended after 7 days.
2. Results must be correlated with clinical findings and other diagnostic investigations.

Comments
This is a screening test for syphilis which is useful for following the progression of disease and response to
therapy. Rising titers are of immense value in confirming the diagnosis. Biological false positive reactions
exhibit low titers and are seen in conditions like Viral fevers, Mycoplasma infection, Chlamydia infection,
Malaria, Immunizations, Pregnancy, Autoimmune disorders & past history of Treponemal infection. It is
advisable to confirm the diagnosis by tests such as TPHA & FTA-ABS.

Note
1. Retesting is recommended after 8-14 days in case of non reactive/equivocal results.
2. Reactive result indicates primary infection or reactivation of latent virus.
Comment
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) is of two types namely Type 1 & Type 2 which present slight antigenic
differences. Type 1 virus chiefly causes oral - facial lesions while Type 2 virus Is mainly responsible for
genital lesions. Asymptomatic infections may occur in healthy individuals and during pregnancy. Severe
herpes infections are seen in immunocompromised patients. Infection of neonates during passage through
birth canal may result in neurological damage.
Note
Negative result does not rule out the possibility of infection as only IgM antibodies may be present during the
acute phase. Retesting is recommended after 8-14 days. Seroconversion or rising titre indicates presence of
active infection.

Comments
Non Reactive result implies that antibodies to HIV 1 / 2 have not been detected in the sample.This means the
patient has either not been exposed to HIV 1 / 2 infection or the sample has been tested during the "window
phase" i.e. before the development of detectable levelsof antibodies. Hence a Non Reactive result does not
exclude the possibility of exposure or infection with HIV 1 / 2.
Recommendations
1. Results to be clinically correlated.
2. Rarely false negativity/positivity may occur.
3. Post test counseling available between 9.30 am to 11 am at LPL laboratories.
