VDRL Test
The VDRL test spots syphilis, an STI from the bacterium Treponema pallidum. This blood test detects antibodies the body makes against the bacteria. Though not sure, it's vital for early syphilis diagnosis. Despite its limitations, VDRL is crucial for high-risk groups and prenatal care. It excels at early syphilis detection, preventing severe issues. Untreated syphilis progresses through stages with unique symptoms and risks. Detecting it early is critical for stopping its advance and reducing transmission risk.
