Hi, I am giving you a brief about vdrl tests! the venereal disease research laboratory (vdrl) test is used to detect if a person has been infected with the bacteria causing syphilis, which is a sexually transmitted disease. The test detects the presence of antibodies against the bacteria treponema pallidum. This test is only indicative, and if positive, it must be followed up with another blood test to make a definitive diagnosis of syphilis. When it's done: the test is performed if a person shows signs and symptoms of sexually transmitted illness. It is a routine test performed during pregnancy to check if there is a possibility of you suffering from syphilis. So answer to your question is that vdrl is non specific test which many don't use at all. For more details do consult me online.
