False positive results may occur in otherwise normal or healthy persons (biological false positives), or in patients with underlying diseases such as infectious mononucleosis, leprosy, autoimmune diseases, or drug addiction. The CAPTIA Syphilis-G EIA may also be reactive in patients from geographic areas where yaws or pinta is endemic.
