Abstract
Serological tests for syphilis (with rapid plasma reagin) were performed in 2767 women attending the antenatal clinic of King Edward VIII Hospital, Durban, South Africa, for their first, booking visit. The test was repeated at the 36th week of pregnancy. A total of 152 women (5.5%) were assumed to have syphilis. In addition, 4 (11,8%) of 34 patients who were seronegative at less than 32 weeks of pregnancy had a positive serological test result at 36 weeks.
