The Syphilis IgG ELISA is replacing the standard FTA-ABS-DS test for syphilis. It is a lab test used for the detection of IgG antibody to Treponema pallidum and serves as a confirmatory test for syphilis in conjunction with results of the non-treponemal RPR screening test. FTA-ABS-DS testing is still performed by the Public Health Laboratories when a special request for this testing is received from a Health Care Provider.
