Which is false about syphilis -
TPI gives definite diagnosis
TPHA is earliest to be +ve
VDRL is +ve 1 week after appearance of chancre
Serologically not different from yaws
Ans. is 'b' i.e., TPHA is earliest to be (+) ye About other options - TPI is a specific treponemal test and gives definite diagnosis. - VDRL test becomes positive 7-10 days after the appearance of primary chancre (3-5 weeks after acquiring the infection.) - All treponemal and nontreponemal serological tests may be positive in nonveneral treponematoses (eg yaws, pinta and endemic syphilis), so can not differentiate nonveneral treponematoses from syphilis.
