Just checking if this name actually makes sense: " Positive CSF treponemal antibody positivity" Should it be " Positive CSF treponemal antibody test" or "CSF treponemal antibody positivity"

I don't think the double positive changes the meaning, but it reads weird.

[MickeySegal]

A philosophy professor once remarked that there was no example of a double positive being interpreted as a negative. Robert Nozick, later one of the leading philosophers, but then young, was in the audience, and replied "yeah, yeah".

reopening, let's fix the label, at the risk of making the world have one less reason to smile

Fixed to "CSF treponemal antibody positivity", thanks!
