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.
