Autoimmune Diseases Drive Biological False Positive Syphilis 2026 Clinica CH by adriananutriapuntes is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This study analyzes the factors contributing to biological false-positive (BFP) reactions in syphilis serology, focusing on the correlation with autoimmune diseases. A retrospective review of 35,995 tests revealed a BFP rate of 0.78%, predominantly associated with specific autoantibodies and varying significantly across age groups. The findings suggest that incorporating autoimmune testing could enhance the accuracy of syphilis screening and reduce misdiagnosis.
