Abstract
A retrospective analysis was conducted to describe the cases of Syphilis identified and managed at Short Street Centre and The Sutherland Sexual Health Centre, in South Eastern Sydney and Illawarra Area, from January 2000 to June 2007. Syphilis serology is routinely offered as part of an STI screen to new and follow-up patients as appropriate. Information on the diagnoses, demographic and other variables was extracted from the clinical database Sexual Health Information Program (SHIP) and analysed in SPSS v11. Information on age, gender, relationship status, country of birth, presenting symptoms, stage of Syphilis, type of treatment and subsequent RPR levels were confirmed from patient records. An analysis of the relative frequency of the stages of Syphilis from over 130 patients will be presented and their relationship to a number of demographic and behavioural factors.
