What is treatment for positive tpha and vdrl?

The recommended treatment for primary, secondary or early-stage latent syphilis (less than 1 year) is a single intramuscular injection of penicillin G benzathine (2.4 million units). Because penicillin is the only medication proven effective in treating syphilis during pregnancy, penicillin should be used during pregnancy, regardless of the stage of the infection. If the person is allergic to penicillin, several alternative regimens can be used, such as:

- Desensitization to penicillin: Under the care of an allergy specialist, the person may undergo a process of gradually increasing doses of penicillin to overcome the allergy.

- Doxycycline (oral medication) taken twice daily for 14 days

- Ceftriaxone (intramuscular injection) given once daily for 10 to 14 days

For late-stage or latent syphilis of unknown duration (more than 1 year), the recommended treatment is penicillin G benzathine (2.4 million units) given once a week for three consecutive weeks. Alternative regimens for penicillin-allergic patients include:

- Doxycycline (oral medication) taken twice daily for 28 days

- Ceftriaxone (intramuscular injection) given once daily for 10 to 14 days

It is important to be treated for syphilis to prevent serious complications. If left untreated, syphilis can cause severe damage to the heart, brain, and other organs.
