One thousand thirty-nine (1039) pregnant women with syphilis were investigated, based on data extracted from the DATASUS Data Processing System. Results: Most of the pregnant women were 29 years old or younger, had no paid job and low-income. Most of these women were diagnosed with syphilis and notified in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy. The predominant clinical classification of syphilis was latent syphilis. Ninety two percent (92%) of pregnant women and fifty two percent (52%) of their partners were treated. Conclusions: It was observed that young women, with no paid employment and low income are more susceptible to Sexually Transmitted Infections.
