INTRODUCTION: Congenital syphilis (CS) is a systemic infection caused by a spirochete bacterium, Treponema pallidum. This infection has intervals of activity and latency, which follows vertical transmission during pregnancy. METHODOLOGY: This is a cross-sectional, retrospective study of cases of congenital syphilis in the city of XXX, in the years 2020 and 2021. Data were obtained from SINAN, made available by DATASUS. Tabwin 3,6 and Microsoft Office Excel 2010 programs were used for tabulation and data analysis. RESULTS: 304 cases of CS were reported in the years 2020 and 2021 in the city of XXXX. There is a predominance of women who declare themselves brown (83.88%), followed by self-declared white (7.23%), black (1.64%), yellow 0.65% and, finally, indigenous (1.97%). Furthermore, it was inferred that, of the 304 cases, 1 was discarded (0.32%), there were 2 cases of stillbirth/abortion due to syphilis (0.65%) and the other 301 cases (99.01%) were classified as recent congenital syphilis. Furthermore, of all cases, 279 (92.69%) evolved well; however, we do not have data on the evolution of 15 patients (4.98%). DISCUSSION: It was found that the highest rates of children diagnosed with CS are daughters of mixed race mothers. In this sense, characteristics such as low education suggest unfavorable socioeconomic conditions and difficulties in accessing health services, which may reflect the absence or reduction of care that women receive during pregnancy and childbirth, increasing the risk of inadequate prenatal care and fetal death. CONCLUSION: In view of the observed data, it was possible to verify that more than a fifth of the women only received the diagnosis of maternal syphilis at the time of delivery/curettage. Therefore, the relevance of this study is shown by tracing epidemiological factors that may influence congenital syphilis, and, based on this material, developing initiatives that can alleviate the problem.
