Abstract

Background: SYPHILIS, a chronic systemic infection caused by Treponema pallidum. Nearly all cases of SYPHILIS are acquired by sexual contact with infectious lesions. Less common mode of transmission includes nonsexual personal contact and infection in utero or following blood transfusions. Routine serologic screening for SYPHILIS is recommended for all PREGNANT WOMEN in Iran.Material and Methods: The results of rapid plasma regain (RPR) test were compiled for1484 PREGNANT WOMEN tested between 2004 and 2005 in YAZD. Any RPR reactivity observed in serum was considered positive and confirmed by a FTA-ABS test (Fluorescent treponemal antibody-absorbed). Results: The mean age of the PREGNANT WOMEN in this study was 22 years. In PREGNANT WOMEN who underwent screening for SYPHILIS, there were no positive tests. Conclusion: The prevalence of SYPHILIS is extremely low in three studies in the antenatal care population in Iran. This calls for a nation-wide survey to assess the need for continuation of antenatal SYPHILIS screening with regards to its potential benefits and cost effectiveness in the Iran.
