BACKGROUND Sexually transmitted infections (STI) are ancient and are as old as human existence. They are closely interlinked with the human sexual behaviour. Syphilis well known for its systemic complications in the pre-antibiotic era is described as the ‘great imitator’ by Sir William Osler, the father of modern medicine. In the present era of human immuno deficiency virus disease / acquired immuno deficiency syndrome, STI control has been made as first priority, because of their close association and interaction. Syphilis caused by Treponema pallidum is diagnosed most often on clinical suspicion supplemented by laboratory diagnosis, where serological tests for syphilis play a key role / main role. METHODS This study is a hospital based cross sectional study that consisted of 416 cases among which, 276 were females, 140 were males who had attended the STI / RTI clinic. The study period was from July 2011 to September 2012. Blood samples were drawn from all the patients (who were willing to be included in the study) attending the RTI / STI clinic, GGH, Guntur after taking consent. All the sera were tested by rapid plasma reagin (RPR) test and the sera was screened simultaneously for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Those sera which were tested reactive for RPR were further tested in dilutions to know the titres. Later the sera tested reactive for RPR were further tested by a specific test, Treponema pallidum haemagglutination (TPHA). RESULTS Of the total 19 (4.56 %) persons tested reactive for RPR, males were 10 (7.14 %), females were 9 (3.26 %), and these were further tested for TPHA. Of the 19 tested for TPHA, a total of 16 (84.21 %) were positive for TPHA of which males were 9 (90 %) and females were 7 (77.78 %). Among the 16 patients, positive for serological test for syphilis (STS), 13 (81.25 %) fall in the age group of 21 - 40, 2 (12.50 %) in the age group of ≤ 20, and 1 (6.25 %) is above 60 years of age. CONCLUSIONS In this study it was seen that out of the 16 syphilis cases, 9 were HIV reactive, 3 were non-reactive for HIV and 4 were of unknown status, showing that the rate was more among the HIV reactive group. The prevalence rate of syphilis among the 66 tested patients belonging to the high-risk group was 6.06 % and in nonhigh-risk group was 3.12 %, showing that it was more in people belonging to high risk group.

Group I

The proportion of patients with multiple unsuccessful attempts of assisted reproductive technology (ART) is about 30% of all patients treated with the use of ART. Women with history of unsuccessful ART attempts - a special category of patients who require emergency attention and a thorough examination at the stage of preparation for superovulation stimulation,the selection of embryos and endometrium preparation for embryo transfer. The objective: to distinguish high-risk group of unsuccessful attempts based on a detailed analysis of anamnestic and clinical data of infertile women with repeated unsuccessful ART attempts that requires more in-depth study of hormonal features, ovarian reserve and condition of the endometrium. Materials and methods. For better understanding of the problem of repeated unsuccessful ART attempts and сreation of efficient infertility treatment algorithms for these couples we conducted a thorough analysis of anamnestic data of three groups of infertile women (105 patients), which were distributed by age: group I – younger than 35, the II group – from 35 to 40, the III group - over 40 years. These groups of patients were compared with each other and with the control group of healthy women (30 persons). Results. Leading stress factors in the percentage three times prevailed in the group of infertile women and had a direct connection with the fact of procedure «fertilization in vitro» and chronic stressors caused by prolonged infertility. Primary infertility was observed significantly more frequent in patients younger than 35 years (p <0.05), secondary infertility - mostly in the second and third experimental groups (p <0.05). Noteworthy significant percentage of wellknown causes of infertility and idiopathic factor in all groups, and the prevalence of tubal-peritoneal factor in the second and third experimental groups, and endocrine dysfunction in the I experimental group. The most common disorder among this category of woman was polycystic ovary syndrome. Frequency of usual miscarriage among patients of I ana II groups was two times higher than in the third group (p <0.05). Among the experimental groups the leading place belongs urinary tract infection, respiratory tract diseases, pathologies of the cardiovascular system. Data of the stratified analysis show an increase likelihood of repeated unsuccessful ART attempts under the influence of constant chronic stress (odds ratio OR=2.06; 95% CI: 0.95–3.17; p<0.05). Conclusions. Among infertile patients with repeated unsuccessful ART attempts must be separated a high risk group of failures. The identity depends on the duration of infertility, female age and leading combination of factors. Key words: repeated unsuccessful ART attempts, anamnesis, infertility, high risk.
