A positive syphilis antibody does not necessarily mean that you are infected with syphilis. Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by infection with the syphilis spirochete. The presence of syphilis spirochetes is usually diagnosed when serologic tests for syphilis are done, for example, and the spirochetes are found. Patients are usually tested for syphilis antibodies, which include two antibodies, the non-syphilis spirochete antibody and the specific syphilis spirochete antibody, the first using the syphilis plasma reactive element rapid test and the second using the syphilis spirochete hemocyte agglutination test. One of the tests for syphilis antibodies is positive using the syphilis spirochete hemagglutination test, which is not specific and does not confirm the presence of syphilis. When doing syphilis antibody test, a few viral hepatitis, autoimmune diseases, malignant tumors, pregnancy and the elderly can appear false positive. Therefore, if the test is positive for syphilis antibody, it does not confirm the diagnosis of syphilis. It is recommended that the patient further do serologic test for syphilis spirochetes, if the result is positive, it means that the body is infected with syphilis and needs further treatment.
