1. Q11 Syphilis
A woman is diagnosed with Syphilis on the basis of clinical and lab diagnosis. She will go to the clinic tomorrow to start the treatment. What instructions will be given to her ?
A quantitative RPR/VDRL test is recommended for monitoring the serological response to treatment and should be performed on a specimen taken on the day that treatment is started as this provides an accurate baseline for monitoring response to treatment.
Allergy History is a must before any injection- especially because the treatment of Syphilis is Penicillin.
