Materials and methods: In a period of six years between 1.1.93-31.12.98 278 syphilitic patients were evaluated for their age, gender, marrital status and clinical findings. Results: In this study group, majority of the cases were male, married and in the sexually active age group. Of these patients 29.8% were at the primary stage, 47.6% were at the secondary stage, 27.8% were at the latent stage, 0.4% were at the tertiary stage and 0.4% were evaluated as the early congenital syphilis.
