Résumé
Background
Reactive syphilis screening makes a donor ineligible and sends the associated components to discard. This study estimated the donation-level prevalence of VDRL seroreactivity and its sociodemographic, temporal and geographic distribution in six municipalities served by a regional blood center in Pará, Brazil, 2017–2023.
