Background: Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by bacteria named Treponema palladium, subsp. pallidum. Nearly 1.36 million pregnant women are known to be affected by syphilis in the developing countries. When left untreated syphilis during pregnancy can result in adverse fetal outcomes such as spontaneous abortion and stillbirth. Objective of the study was present study was done to evaluate the seroprevalence of syphilis among pregnant females attending Antenatal Clinic (ANC).Methods: A hospital based cross-sectional study was done over a period of six months from January to June 2019. A total of 132 pregnant females were included in the study who attended Antenatal Clinic for routine checkup whose blood samples were sent to Microbiology Laboratory for screening for syphilis by Rapid Plasma Reagin (RPR) test.Results: Out of 132 samples of pregnant females screened for syphilis, none of the sample was found reactive for syphilis by RPR test. Maximum patients (57.6%) belonged to age group 20-25 years followed by (27.3%) of 26-30 years. 30.3% patients belonged to urban areas and 69.7% patients belonged to rural areas. Majority of patients (80.3%) belonged to first trimester, followed by (18.9%) patients to second trimester and (0.8%) patients to third trimester. 78.8% patients were from lower socio-economic class followed by 12.9% patients from middle class and 8.3% patients from upper class.Conclusions: Although zero percent syphilis prevalence was observed in this study, it is recommended that free screening for syphilis should be offered to all pregnant females visiting Antenatal Clinic.

Introduction: Clinical presentation of syphilis varies widely according to stage of syphilis. Latent syphilis pose special challenge for diagnosis as patient is usually asymptomatic and still infectious. Material and Methods: Retrospective analysis of Rapid plasma reagin (RPR) positive patients over two years duration from tertiary care institute was carried out. Results: A total of 32 RPR positive patients were analyzed. Eleven (34.37%) patients had clinical features suggestive of Syphilis, rest 21 (65.63%) patients were found to be positive by RPR without any clinical signs and symptoms. Seven patients (21.8%) had genital ulcerative diseases at the time of presentation. Conclusion: Our study reports rise in incidence of latent syphilis.
