Congenital syphilis is of particular public health importance due to its adverse birth outcomes. Limited studies have been conducted among pregnant women in health centers that provide antenatal care for large number of women. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence of syphilis among pregnant women who attended antenatal care service at Wereda 04 Health Center, Kolfe Keraniyo subcity, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross\u2010sectional study was conducted among pregnant women on antenatal care at Wereda 04 Health Center during February to May 2024. Primary data were collected from 485 pregnant women using a pretested, structured questionnaire that was selected by systematic sampling. Syphilis was detected using serological test. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most (64.6%, 303\/469) were multigravida and 77.3% (266\/344) had one or two children. Slightly more than half (51.7%, 178\/344) were multiparous. Nearly 35.9% (28\/78) of the women had sexual intercourse with two or more persons in their lifetime. About 7.8% (36\/462) had practiced extramarital sex. The seroprevalence of syphilis was found to be 0.2% (1\/483).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The prevalence of syphilis was low, suggesting that strong public health measures were implemented by the health center.
