Hello and welcome to HCM,
ANA stands for anti nuclear antibody.
ANA is increased in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other connective tissue diseases.
A negative TPHA test rules out syphilis infection.
You need to be investigated further for SLE and other connective tissue diseases.

Thanks and take care
