CSF FOR TPHA Price in Bangladesh

What is CSF FOR TPHA?

CSF for TPHA (Treponema pallidum Hemagglutination Assay) detects antibodies against Treponema pallidum, the causative agent of syphilis, in cerebrospinal fluid. It helps diagnose neurosyphilis.

CSF is collected via lumbar puncture and tested using TPHA. Preparation includes fasting and ensuring sterile conditions.

Risks involve headache, infection, or bleeding from the procedure. A positive result indicates syphilis involvement of the central nervous system, but results should be correlated with clinical findings and other tests to confirm diagnosis.

What to expect & how to prepare

CSF FOR TPHA is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your CSF FOR TPHA result rather than self-diagnosing.
