A Treponema pallidum nevű baktérium által okozott, nemi úton terjedő betegség (STD) szűrésére vagy kimutatására.
Szifiliszre utaló tünetek esetében, vagy ha valaki tünetmentes, de veszélyeztetett, mert egyéb nemi betegsége van (például HIV-fertőzött), vagy a szexuális partnere szifiliszes, vagy partnereit gyakran váltogató homoszexuális férfi, vagy ha nemi betegségek szempontjából kockázatos szexuális életet él. Ezenkívül szifilisz szűrés történik minden terhes nőnél.
Leggyakrabban könyökhajlati vénából vett vérből történik a vizsgálat. Néha az érintett terület (általában nemi szerv) fekélyéből vesz az orvos mintát. Ritkán gerinccsapolásra és a gerincvelői folyadék vizsgálatára van szükség, ha a tünetek ezt indokolják.
Nincs szükség előkészületre.
