A 30 year old male patient presents to your clinic with an ulcer on his penis. The ulcer (1X1cm) is non-tender, has a raised border and indurated base. Painless inguinal lympadenopathy is detected on physical exam. The rest of the examination is unremarkable and the review of systems is normal. What is the best diagnostic test to order for this patient?
a) Blood culture
b) Dark field microscopy
c) FTA-Abs
d) RPR
e) VDRL
