AB  - OBJECTIVE: Through questionnaire and screening, epidemiology of syphilis in
      pregnant women and related risk factors were studied, to develop effective policy
      and reducing the negative impact of the disease. METHODS: All pregnant women who 
      appeared at the hospitals the first time, were included, in Shenzhen city.
      Tolulized Red Unheated Serum Test (TRUST) method was used for primary screening
      and positive results were confirmed by the Treponema Pallidum Particle
      Agglutination (TPPA) test at the Shenzhen Center for Disease Control and
      Prevention (SZCDC). Positive patients were informed and treated and the
      pregnancies were managed accordingly at the SZCDC. RESULTS: From 2003-2005,
      418,871 (94.7%) pregnant were screened. Epidemiological and treatment data were
      collected from 2019 positive cases of infectious syphilis (0.48%). Among them,
      94.2% were between 20 and 35 years old, with 93.6% of them had only junior high
      school education and 63.4% of them worked as commercial services or jobless which
      was significantly higher than other occupations (OR = 8.628). 89.5% of them were 
      from other cities, significantly higher than from local residents (OR = 8.733).
      Gestational weeks at original diagnosis was longer and the infection rate higher.
      CONCLUSION: The infection rate of syphilis in Shenzhen was still at a high level 
      which was related to occupation, education level, place of residency, gestational
      weeks at first diagnosis etc. Further screening measures and early intervention
      were important.
