Seroprevalence of syphilis and associated factors among pregnant women who attended antenatal care follow-up at public hospitals in Bahir Dar city, north-west Ethiopia: a cross-sectional study

The study's seroprevalence aligns with previous findings, emphasising the need for routine syphilis screening and treatment in ANC services. Special attention should be given to women with a history of stillbirth, other adverse pregnancy outcomes or sexually transmitted infections. Enhanced counselling on syphilis screening and treatment is essential to reduce the burden of syphilis and improve maternal and fetal health outcomes.
