Abstract:

The aim of the study was to analyze the temporal tendency of congenital syphilis (CS) and characterize the disease in the state of Minas Gerais (MG) between 2007 and 2015. It is a quantitative study, time series analysis, with database of the Information System of Notifiable Diseases, related to CS cases reported in MG between 2007 and 2015. Descriptive statistics, CS incidence rate calculation and polynomial regression model were used for temporal trend analysis. The results showed that there were 4,381 cases in the period. The incidence rate ranged0.61 to 5.08 per 1,000 live births (LB), with an increase in the temporal trend of the CS incidence coefficient in the period2007 to 2015, with an annual rate variation of 30.6% (95% CI: 21.0 - 41.0). There was a predominance of brown-skinned newborns (38.7%), age range up to 6 days of life (94.7%) and the majority (63.6%) did not present, in relation to physical examination, any manifestation suggestive of CS, but definitive diagnosis for recent CS (95.2%). The number of reported cases is increasing, suggesting that there is a need for improvement in prenatal care, diagnosis, appropriate treatment, health care and notification.
