Non-treponemal tests such as the rapid plasma reagin (RPR) assay are mainstays of syphilis diagnosis, but false-positive tests are common. We identified false-positive RPR titers in 8.2% of patients with malaria due to Plasmodium vivax in northern Peru. Similar rates were not detected in patients with other acute febrile illnesses.
非梅毒螺旋体检测，如快速血浆反应素（RPR）试验，是梅毒诊断的主要手段，但假阳性检测很常见。我们在秘鲁北部因间日疟原虫感染患疟疾的患者中，发现8.2%的患者RPR滴度呈假阳性。在患有其他急性发热性疾病的患者中未检测到类似比例。
