Borrelia Burgdorferi (BB) antibodies in blood donors as a cause of nonspecific syphilis test reactions

Syphilis test is the mandatory screening test for blood donors. It serves as donor risk behavior indicator. Mostly used screening tests are automated highly sensitive treponemal tests which gave a significant proportion of nonspecific positive results. We examined syphilis test repeatedly reactive blood donors for the presence of Borrelia Burgdorferi antibodies as possible cause of test reaction.
