Clinical characteristics and cause analysis of false-positive results in treponemal testing among patients by Wei Wang, Xuzhou Fan, Keyi Zhou, Qianqian Chen, Xuelian Huang

“…Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that ≤18 years, ≥45 years, male were independent risk factors (p < 0.01).Conclusion 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. …”
