Identification of false-positive syphilis antibody results using a semiquantitative algorithm.

Abstract

Screening patients for syphilis serology using a "treponemal assay-first" approach presents unique challenges, particularly when applied to low-prevalence populations. The use of a screening algorithm that incorporates semiquantitative values from treponemal antibody test results can help to identify potential false-positive results while requiring a minimum of repeat testing.
