 AB    This article on false positive serological reactions for syphilis
       reviews the rapid developments which have taken place in the
       serodiagnosis of syphilis in recent years since the advent of the AIDS
       epidemic. An overview of non-specific and specific treponemal
       serological tests in relation to acute and chronic biological false
       positive reactions is followed by closer consideration of syphilis
       serology in the context of HIV infection, pregnancy and other conditions
       which may produce false positive reactions.
