Question
I found a positive result in the blood type specific antibody screening during my eighth-month pregnancy check-up. What does this result mean?
Answer
In the medical consultation, the other party explained the process of syphilis specific antibody screening and pointed out that a positive syphilis specific antibody result may not be significant, as the specific antibodies may still be positive even after syphilis has been cured. In addition, if the RPR test is negative, it is generally not necessary to perform the syphilis specific antibody test, as the test result may cause unnecessary controversy or psychological stress.
