VDRL (TPPA) Explanation: VDRL stands for venereal disease research laboratory [test] and is recognised "shorthand" for standard syphilis testing, though you could also translate Luessuchreaktion as "test for syphilis". I think you could leave TPPA unchanged, as it is the same in English. |

syphilis test result (TPPA) Explanation: See http://www.webmd.com/sexual-conditions/syphilis-tests for a description of various tests for syphilis. I would leave TPPA as is because it's used in English also. |
