| Sumario: | The syphilis represents a serious public health problem in Tocantins, especially syphilis in pregnant women and congenital syphilis, representing one of the main causes of maternal and child morbidity and mortality in the State. The objective of this study was to describe the epidemiological profile of syphilis cases in pregnant and congenital women from 2018 to 2022 residents of the state of Tocantins through socio-demographic and obstetric characteristics. Methods: cross-sectional and descriptive study carried out with secondary data obtained from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) through the Tabwin operating system. Results: during the period, 3,386 cases of syphilis in pregnant women and 1,473 cases of congenital syphilis were reported. The prevalence rate of gestational syphilis was 28.2% and the incidence rate of congenital syphilis was 12.2%. The women reported with syphilis in pregnant and and congenital syphilis were mostly mixed-race, young, with secondary education and lived in urban areas. Conclusion: given the epidemiological scenario, an analysis is suggested to identify the determinants that are compromising the completeness of the syphilis care line in the State. |
