Venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL) test is a nontreponemal test, used for screening of syphilis due to its simplicity, sensitivity and low cost. Prozone phenomenon and biological false positive (BFP) reaction are two shortcomings of this test. Quantitative estimation of VDRL is essential in treatment evaluation. CSF VDRL test is very specific for neurosyphilis though its sensitivity is low. Interpretation of VDRL in HIV infection is incompletely understood.
性病研究实验室(VDRL)试验是一种非梅毒螺旋体试验,因其操作简单、灵敏度高且成本低,用于梅毒筛查。前带现象和生物学假阳性(BFP)反应是该试验的两个缺点。VDRL定量评估在治疗评估中至关重要。脑脊液VDRL试验对神经梅毒非常特异,尽管其灵敏度较低。HIV感染中VDRL的解读尚不完全清楚。
