Clinical characteristics and cause analysis of false-positive results in treponemal testing among patients

This study demonstrates that the false-positive rate of treponemal tests can be increased by factors such as age, gender, immune diseases, and coagulation disorders. The treponemal antibodies titer level is a valuable reference for assessing false-positive results. To enhance the accuracy of syphilis diagnosis, multiple risk factors should be considered when interpreting results from treponemal tests.

Abstract

This study demonstrates that the false-positive rate of treponemal tests can be increased by factors such as age, gender, immune diseases, and coagulation disorders. The treponemal antibodies titer level is a valuable reference for assessing false-positive results. To enhance the accuracy of syphilis diagnosis, multiple risk factors should be considered when interpreting results from treponemal tests.
