LOINC codes: 41163-7
Tests that measure Syphilis (Treponema pallidum DNA), Qualitative Real-Time PCR: Quest Diagnostics 2

Ranges

Each lab publishes a reference range for the population groups it tests, usually the middle 95% of results. These intervals describe that population, not an optimal or healthy target. How ranges differ

Swab · Fasting not stated · Turnaround Set up: Daily; Report available: 3 days
Method and collection
Method
Real-Time Polymerase Chain Reaction
Collection
⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Genital lesion swab: Swab any visible lesions. Withdraw the swab without touching the skin. Immediately place the swab into the transport tube so that the tip of the swab is visible below the tube label. Carefully break the swab shaft at the score line against the side of the tube and discard the top portion of the swab shaft. Tightly screw the cap onto the tube.

Verify these ranges and sources

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
