Syphilis is a systemic sexually transmitted disease caused by Treponema pallidum infection. After infection with syphilis, the body produces a variety of antibodies against Treponema pallidum. After detection of antibodies, it can indirectly determine whether syphilis infection. Syphilis antibodies, normal blood test, it is easy to detect. Normal diet on antibody level detection, there is not much interference. Therefore syphilis detection, and does not necessarily need fasting. Of course, if you eat too greasy, resulting in a particularly high fat content in the blood, there may be a certain impact on the results of the examination. Therefore, appropriate attention is required.
