Abstract
Objective: To analyze the cases of congenital syphilis that occurred in the city of Porto Velho (RO), between 2010 and 2020, considering the sociodemographic profile of mothers and the cases reported by the city. Methods: Study based on cases reported in the online platform database available in the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) of the Ministry of Health (MS). Results: There was an increase between 2010 and 2018, from 7 reported cases to 87, and a decline in 2019 and 2020, decreasing from 87 to 26 reported cases. Sociodemographically, the age group from 20 to 29 years old was the most susceptible, with low education (42.2% have up to elementary school), 79.2% of mixed race, 75.2 had prenatal care and 64.2 % did not undergo the proper treatment. Conclusion: Late detection combined with the frequency of vertical transmission of the disease, despite access to prenatal care, suggest that there is a greater integration of health services involved in the prevention of congenital syphilis.
