Overview of the VDRL Test

The VDRL (venereal disease research laboratory) test is used to determine whether an individual has syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection (STI). The bacterium Treponema pallidum causes syphilis. The bacterium infects by entering the mouth or genital area lining. The VDRL test in Kalighat, Kolkata or any other city does not check for syphilis-causing bacteria. Instead, it looks for antibodies an individual’s body makes in response to antigens released by bacteria-damaged cells. Antibodies are proteins that the immune system produces to fight off pathogens such as bacteria or toxins. Checking these antibodies can help doctors determine if one has syphilis. The cost of the VDRL test in Kalighat, Kolkata or any other city is quite affordable.

When is the VDRL Test Prescribed?

If an individual's doctor suspects that one has syphilis, he or she will most likely prescribe a VDRL test in Kalighat, Kolkata. The following early symptoms may prompt an individual's doctor to order this test:

one minor, painless sore

swelling in lymph nodes around the sore

a non-itchy skin rash

In some cases, an individual's doctor may order a VDRL test even if one has no symptoms or reason to suspect that one may have the disease. For example, if one is pregnant, the doctor will check for syphilis as part of one’s routine care. This is a standard procedure, and it does not mean that one's doctor suspects one of having syphilis. A VDRL test in Kalighat, Kolkata or any other city has a very reasonable price so it is recommended to choose a reputable laboratory for the accurate and reliable test. Also, an individual’s doctor can also prescribe a VDRL test if one has been diagnosed with other STIs like gonorrhoea, HIV, etc.

Time Required for Test Reports + Next Steps

The VDRL test report in Kalighat, Kolkata and other cities is usually generated within 24 hours of the sample being collected. One can easily access their report on the official website of Max Lab. It is advised to take the report to the doctor as soon as one receives it so that the doctor can analyse and interpret it. Sometimes, a VDRL test report can come as a false-positive or false-negative. One’s doctor must carefully check the report and symptoms of an individual. If required, the doctor can recommend another test to confirm that one has syphilis.
