Withering Syphilis Management
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Screening for syphilis has come down following lower prevalence of syphilis. But antenatal mothers have been screened for syphilis routinely. Occupational exposure to HIV made clinicians to rule out syphilis also. It became the customary to do HIV, HBsAg, HCV and VDRL test before any invasive therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. Out of 16 reactive RPR test reports, 5 cases are antenatal, one is blood donor and 11 cases are in inpatients admitted for various therapeutic purposes. All this 11 cases are screened for HIV, HBsAg, HCV and VDRL tests where none of them are reactive except for VDRL.
