The variables considered were age, race/color, education, year of diagnosis, gestational age, clinical classification and treatment scheme. Results: It is possible to verify, through this study, a higher incidence in women of 20 to 29 years of age, of mixed race/color, with incomplete primary education, gestational age of diagnosis in the third trimester, with latent syphilis as the most prevalent form and treatment performed with penicillin. Conclusion: There is an increase in the incidence of syphilis in pregnancy in the state of Minas Gerais, with the profile of young adult women, brown and who have incomplete elementary education. The diagnosis occurs late in the third trimester, and treatment, in most cases, is done with penicillin. The epidemiological analysis was done through information available in the notification forms, this reinforces the importance and the need to keep the data up to date.
