A
Syphilis
💡 Explanation:
VDRL (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory) and Kahn tests are specific serological tests used to diagnose syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by Treponema pallidum. These tests detect antibodies that the body produces in response to syphilis infection. Malaria is diagnosed by blood smear microscopy, typhoid by Widal test or blood culture, and measles by clinical symptoms and serology.
