The presence ofTreponema pallidumDNA was assessed by real‐time PCR in samples of blood donors with reactive serologic tests for syphilis.Treponema pallidumDNA was detected in two (1·02%) of 197 samples of VDRL>8, EIA+ and FTA‐ABS+ donors, and in no sample from 80 VDRL−, EIA+ and FTA‐ABS+ donors. Donors VDRL−, EIA+ and FTA‐ABS+ lack demonstrableT. pallidumDNA in their blood and are unlike to transmit syphilis. Donors VDRL>8, EIA+ and FTA‐ABS+ carry the risk of syphilis infectivity even in concomitance to antibodies detection. Serologic screening for syphilis may still play a role to prevent its transfusion transmission.
