TREPONEMA PALLIDUM HAEMAGGLUTINATION TEST (TPHA) Syphilis is a complex disease which is normally sexually transmitted. The causative organism, Treponema pallidum cannot be grown on conventional laboratory culture media or in the tissue culture. Infection is normally diagnosed by directing antibodies specific for T. pallidum in the patient’s serum or CSF. Antibody becomes detectable at about 3-4 weeks following exposure, and may remain at detectable levels for long periods after treatment. Two groups of antibodies are formed: one reacting with the non-treponemal antigens used in the VDRL / Carbon antigen and RPR tests, and the other reacting with the specific antigens of T. pallidum. Antibody to non-treponemal antigens is found (normally) in active disease and the levels subside after successful treatment. Specific antibody persists long after the infection has been successfully treated. It is necessary to test for both groups of antibody since the non-treponemal antibody may…

Tuskegee syphilis study, it’s official name is “Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male”. It’s an American medical research project that earned notoriety for its unethical experimentation on African American patients in the rural South. The project was conducted by the U.S. Public Health Service from 1932 to 1972 to examine the natural course of untreated syphilis in African American men. The research was intended to test whether syphilis caused cardiovascular damage more often than neurological damage and to determine if the natural course of syphilis in black men was significantly different from that in whites. To recruit participants for its study, the PHS enlisted the support of the prestigious Tuskegee Institute (now Tuskegee University), located in Macon County, Alabama. A group of 399 infected patients and 201 uninfected control patients were…
