Methods: Serum samples were collected from Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Skin and Venereal diseases, Medicine, Surgery, etc., of the period of 6 years.

The highest seroprevalence was observed in the group aged 25-31 years (0.89%) and lowest in 18-24 years (0.31%). Conclusion: RPR testing in this populations group plays a special value in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of syphilis.en_US
