What Causes The VDRL More Reactive While On Treatment?
Im 24 yrs old,5'2" and 47kls in weight, April 6,2011, my VDRL results shows,weakly reative,but TPHA negative,I cant continue my application to work abroad, due to this result, coz my medical exam is still unfit. My doctor gave me a 2.4mu Pen G last April 2011 thru buttocks. A week after, i was checked again and my VDRL test shows that Im reactive with the test, before I was not given medication it was weakly reactive. What makes this test more reactive? I was already given a medication.Thnks a lot..

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate your concern and let me explain you that if you do have a history of exposure then this is all about the antigen and antibody reactive phenomenon and this becomes more reactive during the course of disease along with the treatment.
