pregnancy is a risk of congenital syphilis for the fetus, might result in intrauterine death. The objective this study was to
identify the predictors of syphilis infection among pregnant and delivering mother in Olenchity primary hospital from October
2017 to January 2018 G. C. Unmatched case-control study design (61 cases and 244 controls) was conducted among women
seeking Antenatal care and delivery services. Cases and controls were selected based according to their of the serology result.
Data was collected using pre-tested and structured questionnaire. The collected data were entered into EPI-info version 7 and
analyzed using SPSS version 20. Principally binary logistic regression model was used to estimate the odds ratio at 95%
confidence intervals. Education (AOR, 0.381; 95% CI: 0.169, 0.857), knowledge about Sexually transmitted Infections (AOR,
0.244 95% CI: 0.114, 0.522), loss of baby during pregnancy (AOR, 2.275; 95% CI: 1.022, 5.065), multiple sexual partner
(AOR, 3.071; 95% CI: 1.220, 7.730), Cigarette smoking (AOR 7.628; 95% CI: 1.714,33.946), Human immune deficiency
virus Positives (AOR, 41.145; 95% CI: 2.250, 752.362) were factors significantly associated with syphilis. Factors like having
primary and secondary education and knowledgeable about sexually transmitted infections were less likely to have syphilis.
However, having the history of multiple sexual partner, cigarette smoking, lose baby during pregnancy, HIV positive were
more likely to associate with syphilis infection. These factors should be taken into consideration to prevent or curb the
problems syphilis infection.
