Abstract

Syphilis is a bacterial disease transmitted sexually from pregnant women with syphilis to the fetus. The diagnosis of syphilis in pregnant women is confirmed through the VDRL exam. The objective of this work is to show the numbers of confirmed cases of syphilis in pregnant women in Brazil, regarding the year of diagnosis, age group, regions of Brazil, residential area, type of test, classification and evolution between 2009 and 2013. Secondary data taken from from the IT department of SUS – DATASUS (http://datasus.saude.gov.br). The greater number of tests allows better treatment and a reduction in the number of cases. However, the lack of preventive care during sexual intercourse leads to an increase in cases, especially among women of reproductive age. Areas with a larger population have higher numbers of cases. The high variation of partners in these areas drives the increase in contamination. The type of test influences the numbers. Less specific, more general tests, find specific and non-specific antibodies to the bacteria. This can change the actual numbers. Female health care makes the diagnosis early, facilitating treatment. Syphilis is not directly responsible for the highest number of mortality in pregnant women.
