The seroprevalence of syphilis was studied in an urban and a semi-rural community in Gabon by a cluster sampling technique. The crude prevalence rate of treponemal infection in the semi-rural population was estimated to be 13.3 +/- 5.0% and in the urban population 19.4 +/- 4.6%. The age-adjusted prevalence rate was significantly higher in the urban than in the semi-rural population. In both areas, it was significantly higher in men than in women. No significant difference was observed according to age. These high rates indicate the need for a control program for sexually transmitted diseases.
通过整群抽样技术，在加蓬的一个城市社区和一个半农村社区对梅毒的血清流行率进行了研究。半农村人口中梅毒螺旋体感染的粗流行率估计为13.3 +/- 5.0%，城市人口中为19.4 +/- 4.6%。年龄调整后的流行率在城市显著高于半农村人口。在这两个地区，男性的流行率均显著高于女性。未观察到年龄方面的显著差异。这些高流行率表明需要开展性传播疾病控制项目。
