Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the epidemiological profile of notified cases of Congenital Syphilis in the state of Acre in the years 2009-2018. Methods: This is a retrospective epidemiological study, of a descriptive nature and quantitative approach of cases of SC notified in the state of Acre, in the period from 2009 to 2018, collected in the Information System for Notifiable Diseases (SINAN) and tabulated at Microsoft Excel version 2013. Results: There was an increase in cases of SC in the period analyzed, where the highest notification occurred in Rio Branco. The diagnosis was predominantly made until the 60th day of life, more frequent in browns, in the urban area, with recent SC and 93% with favorable outcome. In relation to the maternal profile, the majority is between 20 and 29 years old, with low education, 79.9% performed prenatal care and 42.1% were only diagnosed at the time of the birth, 69.8% had inadequate treatment, and the vast majority of partners did not underwent any treatment. Conclusion: Congenital syphilis remains a public health problem. In the present study, an increase in this disease was diagnosed over the years, which promotes the need for the introduction of pregnancy-puerperal public policies so that there is a reduction or even the extinction of cases.
