Service Providers for CSF for VDRL
The CSF VDRL test detects syphilis in the central nervous system, commonly used to diagnose neurosyphilis. CSF is collected via lumbar puncture and analyzed for syphilis-specific antibodies. While highly specific, its sensitivity is limited, so a negative result may not rule out the condition. False positives can occur with other infections. This test aids in confirming neurosyphilis when paired with clinical evaluation and additional serologic tests.
